Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question.

The explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

1. What is the face amount of the bonds?

Face amount of the bond = Semiannual 40 outstanding balance = $8,700,000

2. What is the initial selling price of the bonds?

Initial selling price of the bond = Semiannual 0 Outstanding balance = $6,978,029

3. What is the term to maturity in years?

Term to maturity in years = Number of semiannuals / Number of semiannuals in a yeat = 40 / 2 = 20 years

4. Interest is determined by what approach?

Given the information in the question, the interest is determined by effective interest method.

5. What is the stated annual interest rate?

Stated annual interest rate = (Semiannual cash payment / Face amount of the bond) * Number of semiannuals in a year = ($261,000 / $8,700,000) * 2 = 0.06, or 6%

6. What is the effective annual interest rate?

Effective annual interest rate = (Semiannual 1 effective interest / Initial selling price of the bond) Number of semiannuals in a year = ($279,121 / $6,978,029) * 2 = 0.08, or 8%

7. What is the total cash interest paid over the term to maturity?

Total cash interest paid over the term to maturity = Semiannual cash payment * Number of semiannuals = $261,000 * 40 = $10,440,000

8. What is the total effective interest expense recorded over the term to maturity?

Total effective interest expense recorded = Total cash interest paid over the term to maturity + (Face amount of the bond - Initial selling price of the bond) = $10,440,000 + ($8,700,000 - $6,978,029) = $12,161,971

ok this has nothing to do with business
