Explanation:
The issue price of the bonds issued is the present value of all cash flows promised by the bonds discounted using the market interest rate of 11%.
The cash flows which comprise of annual coupon payment for nine years as well as the repayment of the face value at the end of the ninth year as computed thus:
annual coupon payment=face value*coupon rate=$2,200,000*9%=$198,000.00
The present value of $198,000 for nine years= 198,000*5.5370=$ 1,096,326
The present of $2,200,000 at the end of nine years=0.3909*2,200,000=$ 859,980.00
Total present values=$ 859,980+$ 1,096,326=$1,956,306.00
