Answer:
$4,525,123.84
Explanation:
The computation of the proceeds from the issuance of the bond is shown below:
Given that
Face Value of Bonds = $4,000,000
Annual Coupon Rate = 8%
So, Semiannual Coupon Rate = 4%
So, Semiannual Coupon = 4% × $4,000,000
= $160,000
Time to Maturity = 5 years
So, Semiannual Period = 10
And,
Annual Interest Rate = 5%
So, Semiannual Interest Rate = 2.5%
Now the proceeds from the issuance of the bond is
= $160,0000 × PVIFA(2.5%, 10) + $4,000,000 × PVIF(2.5%, 10)
= $160,000 × 8.752064 + $4,000,000 × 0.78120
= $1,400,330.23 + $3,124,793.61
= $4,525,123.84
