2. Jan-21

Dr Cash $ $77,783,220

Dr Discount On Bond $9,216,780

Cr Bond Payable $ $87,000,000

Explanation:

1. Calculation to Determine the price of the bonds at January 1, 2021.

First step is to calculate the Present Value Of Annual Interest

a Semi-annual Interest Amount $5,220,000

($87,000,000*12%/2)

b PV Annuity Factor for (20 Years,14%/2=7%) 10.5940

c Present Value Of Annual Interest (a*b) $ $55,300,680

($5,220,000*10.5940)

Second step is to calculate Present Value Of Redemption Amount

a Redemption Value $ $87,000,000

b PV Factor Of (20 Years,7%) 0.25842

c Present Value Of Redemption Amount (a*b) $ $22,482,540

($87,000,000*0.25842 )

Now let Determine the price of the bonds at January 1, 2021.
