## What Is A Bond Issued At A Premium:

When bonds are issued to public markets, it is very rare that the proceeds equal the face value of the bonds. This is because the market rate is often different from the coupon rate. Wehn the market rate is below with coupon rate, bonds are issued at a premium.

Issuance proceeds of bond = Present value principal + Present value annuity

1. Present value of principal

=5,100,000*(PV11,9%)0.388

=$1,978,800 2. Present value annuity =5,100,000*0.11*(PVA11,9%)6.805 =$3,817,605

Present value =3,817,605+1,978,800

=\$5,796,405
