# Problem Objective Calculate the **interest expense for Moonlight Bay Resorts for the year ended December 31, 2024** using the provided debt information. **Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.** --- ## **Available** 1. **Bonds Issued:** - Issued on: July 1, 2024 - Face amount: \$2,600,000 - Maturity: 15 years - Coupon: 11% (payable semiannually: June 30 & Dec 31) - Issued at yield: 12% (effective rate, semiannual = 6%) - Issued at discount (since coupon < yield) 2. **Note Payable:** - Balance on Dec 31, 2023: \$560,000 - Interest rate: 10% - Annual payment: \$90,000 (payable each June 30) 3. **Finance Lease:** - Lease start: Jan 1, 2024 - Lease payments: \$55,000 (4 annual payments) - Borrowing rate: 9% - Lessor's implicit rate: 8% (use 8% since it is known to lessee) --- # **Step 1: Calculate Interest Expense for Each Debt** --- ## **A. Bonds (issued July 1, 2024)** ### **1. Calculate Issue Price of Bonds (using Present Value)** #### **i. Calculate Present Value of Interest Payments** - Semiannual coupon = 11% annual / 2 × \$2,600,000 = .055 × \$2,600,000 = **\$143,000** - Number of periods = 15 years × 2 = **30 periods** - Market (yield) rate period = 12% / 2 = **6%** - PV of Annuity (PVA) = \$143,000 × PVA(6%, 30) #### **ii. Calculate Present Value of Principal** - PV of \$1 (30 periods, 6%) = PVF(6%, 30) - PV of Principal = \$2,600,000 × PVF(6%, 30) #### **iii. Find Factors from Table** - PVF (6%, 30) = .1741 - PVA (6%, 30) = 13.7648 #### **iv. Calculate Issue Price** \[ \text{PV of Interest} = \$143,000 \times 13.7648 = \$1,967,382.4 \] \[ \text{PV of Principal} = \$2,600,000 \times .1741 = \$452,660 \] \[ \text{Total Issue Price} = \$1,967,382.4 + \$452,660 = \$2,420,042.4 \] --- ### **2. Calculate Interest Expense for 2024 (only one period, July 1 to Dec 31)** - **Carrying value at issuance:** \$2,420,042 - **Effective (market) rate per period:** 6% - **Interest expense (6 months):** \[ \text{Interest Expense} = \$2,420,042 \times .06 = \$145,202.52 \] --- ## **B. Note Payable (\$560,000 at 10%)** - **Interest for 2024:** \[ \text{Interest Expense} = \$560,000 \times .10 = \$56,000 \] --- ## **C. Finance Lease (\$55,000 × 4, 8% implicit rate)** ### **1. Calculate Present Value of Lease Payments (Lease Liability at Start)** - Number of payments: 4 - Rate: 8% - PV of Ordinary Annuity (PVAD) for 4 years, 8%: PVAD(8%, 4) = 3.31213 - **Present Value:** \[ \text{PV} = \$55,000 \times 3.31213 = \$182,167.15 \] ### **2. Interest Expense for 2024 (first year)** - **Interest for 2024:** \[ \text{Interest Expense} = \$182,167.15 \times .08 = \$14,573.37 \] --- # **Step 2: Sum All Interest Expenses** \[ \text{Total Interest Expense} = \$145,203 + \$56,000 + \$14,573 = \$215,776 \] --- # **Final Answer** ## **Interest Expense for the year ended December 31, 2024:** \[ \boxed{\$215,776} \] --- **Summary:** The total interest expense for Moonlight Bay Resorts for the year ended December 31, 2024 is **\$215,776** (rounded to the nearest dollar).
