Answer:
1. Issuer's cash is $262,500
2. Total amount of bond interest is $277,500
3. The amount of bond interest expense is $13,875.
Explanation:
1. Issuer's cash = Face Value × Selling Price
Issuer's cash = $300,000 × 87.50%
Issuer's cash = $262,500
2. Discount on bond = $300,000 × 12.5% = $37,500
Interest on bond = $300,000 × 8% = $24,000
Period of bonds= 10 years
Total amount of bond interest = Discount on Bond + (Interest on Bond × period)
Total amount of bond interest = $37,500 + ($24,000 × 10)
Total amount of bond interest = $277,500
3. Discount on bond = $300,000 × 12.5% = $37,500
Interest on bond = $300,000 × 8% = $24,000
Period = 0.5 years
The amount of bond interest expense = (Discount of Bond ÷ 20) + Interest
The amount of bond interest expense = ($37,500 ÷ 20) + ($24,000 × 0.5)
The amount of bond interest expense = $1,875 + $12,000
The amount of bond interest expense = $13,875.
