On Jan 1 a company issues bonds with a par value of $300,000. The bonds mature in 5 years and pay 8% annual interest each June 30 and Dec 31. On the issue date, the market rate of interest is 6%. Compute the price of the bonds on the issue date. The following information is taken from present value tables:

Present Value of annuity for 10 periods at 3%... 8.5302

Pressent value of 1 due in 10 periods at 3%... 0.7441

Interest: (300,000*.04)*8.5302 = 102,362.40
Principal: 300,000*.7441 = 223,230.00
Bond Price: Interest + Principal = 325,592.40
