1. BE14-1 Ghostbusters Corporation issues $300,000 of 9% bonds, due in 10 years, with interest payable semiannually. At the time of issue, the market rate for such bonds is 10%. Compute the issue price of the bonds.
300,000 X .10 X ½ = 15,000 Incorrect
We need to calculate how much the bonds have been issued by using the formula as follows: -

Then, we can replace the information into the equation. Coupon payment is equal to $300,000 x 9% = 27,000/2 = 13,500)
The issued price of the bond is equal to
B = 13,500 x [1 - 1 ] + 300,000
(1.05)20 (1.05)20
0.05
B = 13,500 x 12.4622 + 300,000 x 0.3769
B = 281,310
