Answer:
a. The present value of the interest is:_________
PV of coupon payments = coupon x PV annuity factor, 4%, 16 periods = $180,000 x 11.652 = $2,097,360
b. The present value of the principal is:_________
PV of face value = face value x PV 4%, 16 periods = $6,000,000 x 0.534 = $3,204,000
c. The price of bond is:_________
market price of the bonds = $2,097,360 + $3,204,000 = $5,301,360
since the market rate is higher than the coupon rate, the bonds will always be sold at a discount
