Final Question

B. Explain why the company was able to issue the bonds for $19,820,734 rather than for the face amount of $18,400,000.

The bonds sell for more than their face amount because the market rate of interest is the contract rate of interest. Investors willing to pay more for bonds that pay a higher rate of interest (contract rate) than the rate they could earn on similar bonds (market rate).
