Question On 1 January, a corporation issues ten-year notes with a face value of €10,000,000 and with annual interest payments made each 31 December. The coupon rate is 2.0 percent, and the effective interest rate is 3.0 percent. Using the effective interest rate method, the amortized discount at the end of year 1 is closest to:选项:
A.€ 74,409.00 B.€ 274,409.00 C.€ 82,035.00解释:
SolutionA is correct. To determine the amortized discount at the end of year 1, first calculate the bond’s price at issuance.
The bond at issuance is priced at: €9,146,979.72, calculated as:
=C[1−(1+i)−Ni]+M(1+i)−N=€200,000[1−(1+0.03)−100.03]+€10,000,000(1+0.03)−10=€1,706,040.57+€7,440,939.15=€9,146,979.72≈€9,146,980
Using a financial calculator:
FV = €10,000,000
PMT = €200,000
N =10
I/Y = 3.00%
CPT PV = €9,146,979.72
Next, determine the interest expense (based on the effective interest rate and amortized cost).
The effective interest rate is 3.0%, so the interest expense is calculated as:
Interest expense = €9,146,979.72 * 0.03 = €274,409.
Next, determine the interest payment (based on the coupon rate and face value).
The interest payment is calculated as:
Interest payment = 2.0% × €10,000,000 = €200,000.00.
Finally, the difference between the interest expense and the interest payment is the amortized discount: Amortized discount = €274,409 – €200,000.00 = €74,409
C is incorrect because €82,035 represents the amortized premium if the effective rate is 2% and the coupon rate is 3% and the premium is incorrectly calculated by subtracting interest expense from interest payment, instead of the opposite difference, to determine the amortization.
The bond at issuance is priced at: €10,898,258.50, calculated as:
=C[1−(1+i)−Ni]+M(1+i)−N=€300,000[1−(1+0.02)−100.02]+€10,000,000(1+0.02)−10=€2,694,775.50+€8,203,483.00=€10,898,258.50≈€10,898,259
Using a financial calculator:
FV = €10,000,000
PMT = €300,000
N =10
I/Y = 2.00%
CPT PV = €10,898,258.50
The effective interest rate is 2.0%. The interest expense is calculated as:
Interest expense = €10,898,258.50 × 0.02 = €217,965.
The interest payment is calculated as:
Interest payment = 3.0% × €10,000,000 = €300,000.00.
The calculated difference between the interest payment and the interest expense is the misinterpreted amortized discount:
€300,000.00 – €217,965 = €82,035.
B is incorrect because €274,409 represents the interest expense (not the amortized discount).
老师,课上不是说interest rate的变化不影响 amortizatized cost 嘛,那为什么这题要这样算?
