Explanation:
1. Calculation to Determine the price of the bonds at January 1, 2016
First step is to find Present value of an ordinary annuity of $1: n = 30, i = 6% (PVA of $1) using ordinary annuity table
Present value of an ordinary annuity of $1: n = 30, i = 6% (PVA of $1)
Present value of an ordinary annuity of $1=13.76483
Second step is to find the Present value of $1: n = 30, i = 6% (PV of $1)
Present value of $1: n = 30, i = 6% (PV of $1)=0.17411
Now let calculate the Price of the bonds at January 1, 2016
Interest $ 103,236,225
[(10%/2 semiannually*$150,000,000) *13.76483]
Add Principal $26,116,500
($150,000,000 *0.17411 )
Present value (price) of the bonds $ 129,352,725
($ 103,236,225+$26,116,500)
Therefore the Price of the bonds at January 1, 2016 will be $ 129,352,725
