Respuesta :

Based on the face value of the bond and the associated interest, the amount of long term liability that Grant should record is $520,500.88.

What is the long term liability?

The long term liability in year 1 should be the present value of the bond. This can be found as:

= Present value of coupon payment + Present value of bond face value

The coupon payment is:

= 8% x 500,000

= $40,000

This is an annuity because it is constant so the revised formula is:
= (Coupon x Present value interest factor of annuity, 7%, 5 years) + (Face value x Present value factor, 7%, 8 years)

Solving therefore gives:

= (40,000 x 4.100197) + (500,000 x 0.712986)

= $520,500.88
