The issue price will be the present value of interest and principal. The rate is 5% and the time period is 20. Interest is an annuity and so we use the PVIFA table. For 5% and 20 periods, the factor is 12.46221. For principal we use the PVIF table and the factor for 5% and 20 periods is 0.37689

Present value of the principal
