- trade prices that are shown on the tape DO NOT include commission.
Answer:
$700
Explanation:
If a bond is issued at a lower price than the face value of the bond, then the bond is issued on the discount. This discount is amortized over the bond's life. This amortization will be expensed as Interest Expense.
Discount = Face value - Issuance price = $15,000 - $14,700 = $300
Bond's Life = 6 years
Amortization of discount = $300 / 6 = $50 annually = $25 semiannually
Coupon Payment = Face Value x coupon Rate = $15,000 x 9% = $1.350 annually = $675 semiannually
Interest Expense Includes both the coupon payment and discount amortization for the period.
Interest Expense = $675 + $25 = $700
