g Determine the price of the bonds issued on February 1, 2021. 2-a. Prepare amortization schedules that indicate Cromley’s effective interest expense for each interest period during the term to maturity. 2-b. Prepare amortization schedules that indicate Barnwell’s effective interest revenue for each interest period during the term to maturity. 3.

On February 1, 2021, Cromley Motor Products issued 6% bonds, dated February 1, with a face amount of $65 million. The bonds mature on January 31, 2025 (4 years). The market yield for bonds of similar risk and maturity was 8%. Interest is paid semiannually on July 31 and January 31. Barnwell Industries acquired $65,000 of the bonds as a long-term investment. The fiscal years of both firms end December 31.

1. Determine the price of the bonds issued on February 1, 2021.

the market value of each bond:

PV of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 4%)⁸ = $730.69
PV of coupon payments = $30 x 6.7327 (PV annuity factor, 4%, 8 periods) = $201.98

market price per bond = $932.67
