4. Will the bond proceeds always be less than the face amount of the bonds when the contract rate is less than the market rate of interest?

Yes, when the bond's interest rate is lower than the market rate, the bonds will be sold at a discount (less than face value). The market rate applicable to this bond issuance is the one used for similar bonds, so the market rate can change depending on the bond.

5. Compute the price of $37,282,062 received for the bonds by using the present value tables

the value of the bonds = PV of face value + PV of coupons

total value = $18,255,478 + $19,026,462 = $37,281,940

There is a small difference, $122, due to rounding errors from the annuity table. But the error is not significant, it represents only 0.0003% of the bonds' price.

Explanation:

issued $40,000,000 of 10-year, 7% bonds at a market (effective) interest rate of 8%, receiving cash of $37,282,062

coupon payment = $40,000,000 x 7% x 1/2 = $1,400,000

semiannual coupon paid December 31 and June 30

Discount on bonds payable $2,717,938 / 20 coupons = $135,896.90 ≈ $135,897 per coupon payment

the answer is true
