Explanation:

Bonds Face value = $400,000

Bonds Issue price = $409,850

Bonds Premium =        $9,850

Coupon rate = 13%

Market rate = 12%

June 30 (Example for the calculations of other periods):

Cash payment = $26,000 ($400,000 x 6.5%)

Interest expense = $24,591 ($409,850 x 6%)

Premium amortized = $1,409 ($26,000 - $24,591)

Ending balance = $408,441 ($409,850 - $1,409)

1.) $9,850

2.) $146,150

3.) see explanation

Explanation:

Amount of premium issue on the bond:

Sale price of bond - par value of bond

$409,850 - $400,000 = $9,850

2.)Total interest expense on bond over the life time of bond;

Repayment amount

Semiannual interest = (13%÷2) × $400,000

0.065 × 400,000 = $26,000

For three years :

$26,000 × 6 = $156,000

$156,000+$400,000(par value) =$556, 000

Total interest expense:

$556,000 - $409,850 = $146,150

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
