E6-13 (Computation of Bond Liability) Messier Inc. manufactures cycling equipment.

Recently, the
vice president of operations of the company has requested construction of a new plant to meet the
increasing demand for the company's bikes. After a careful evaluation of the request, the board of
directors has decided to raise funds for the new plant by issuing $3,000,000 of 11 % term corporate
bonds on March I, 2012, due on March 1,2027, with interest payable each March 1 and September 1.
At the time of issuance, the market interest rate for similar financial instruments is 10%.
As the controller of the company, determine the selling price of the bonds.

Formula for the interest payments:

PV – OA = R (PVF – OAn, i)

PV – OA = $165,000 (PVF – OA30, 5%)

PV – OA = $165,000 (15.37245)

PV – OA = $2,536,454

Formula for the principal:

PV = FV (PVFn, i)

PV = $3,000,000 (PVF30, 5%)

PV = $3,000,000 (0.23138)

PV = $694,140

The selling price of the bonds = $2,536,454 + $694,140 = $3,230,594.
