This is lower than the face value to compensate for the lower coupon payment.

cash 13,000,000.00 credit

--to record Dec 31st, 2025 payment--

Explanation:

To determinate the price we will solve for the present value of the coupon payment and maturity at the market rate of %12

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

Coupon payment:

260,000,000 x 10% x 1/2 =13,000,000.000

time 20 years x 2 payment per year 40

yield to maturity 12% / 2 = 6%

$13000000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-40} }{0.06} = PV\\$

PV $195,601,859.3298

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity 260,000,000.00

time 40.00

rate 0.06

$\frac{260000000}{(1 + 0.06)^{40} } = PV$

PV 25,277,768.80

PV c $195,601,859.3298

PV m $25,277,768.8042

Total $220,879,628.1340

For the journal entries, we will multiply this current market price of the bonds by the market rate (YTM) the difference between this and the actual cash obligation generate by the bond is the amortization of the discount.

first interest payment

$220,879,628.13 x 6% = 13,252,777.69

less actual cash outlay: 13,000,000

amortization 252,777.69

second interest payment

($220,879,628.13- $252,777.69) x 6% = 13,267,944.35

less actual cash outlay: 13,000,000.00

amortization 267,944.35
