Answer:
The issue price of the bonds is $ 473,171 .
Explanation:
The value of bond or issue price can be calculated by discounting all future cash flow using effective rate of retun. Detail calculations are given below.
Future Value = Redemption present value (RPV) + Present value of interest (PVI)
RPV = 500,000 (1+10%)^-10 = $ 192,772 -A
PVI = 22,500 * Annuity factor =$280,400-B
Future Value = A + B = $ 473,171
Annuity factor = (1- (1+i%)^-n)/i% = (1- (1+10%/2)^-20)/(10%/2) = 12.4622
