completed two financing arrangements. The funds provided by these initiatives will allow the
company to expand its operations.

mature on December 31, 2036 (20 years). The market rate of interest for similar bond
issues was 8% (4% semiannual rate). Interest is paid semiannually (3%) on June 30 and
December 31, beginning on June 30, 2017.
2. The company leased two manufacturing facilities. Lease A requires 10 annual lease
payments of $50,000 beginning on January 1, 2017. Lease B also is for 10 years,
beginning January 1, 2017. Terms of the lease require seven annual lease payments of
$60,000 beginning on January 1, 2020. Accounting standards require both leases to be
recorded as liabilities for the present value of the scheduled payments. Assume that an
8% interest rate properly reflects the time value of money for the lease obligations.

1. Determine the effective interest rate on the bonds.
2. Determine the issue price in late 2011 of a single, $1,000 maturity-value bond.
