Question

Jordan issued 10-year, 11% bonds with a par value of $110,000. Interest is paid semiannually. The market rate on the issue date was 10%. Jordan received $116,855 in cash proceeds. Which of the following statements is True? Multiple Choice Suring must pay $116,855 at maturity and no interest payments.

Answer 1

Answer:

$110,000 on maturity

Interest of $6,050 semiannually

Explanation:

Jordan will pay $110,000 at maturity date with 20 payments of  $6050 as interest

11% bonds at par value = $110,000

Interest paid = Semiannually

Market rate = 10%

At maturity, the par value will be paid as the par value of Jordan issued bonds is 110,000, therefore, Jordan will pay 110,000 on the maturity date.

As the bonds are issued for 10 years with semiannual payments that will be like 20 payments of $6,050 (110,000 x 10% x 6/12)
