Respuesta :

Answer: $82000

Explanation:

Interest will be calculated as:

= No of shares x Face value per Share x Interest rate

= 1000 × $1000 × 8%

= 1000 × $1000 × 0.08

= $80000

Total face value of shares issued = 1000 × $1000 = $1,000,000

Issue Amount will be:

= No of shares x Face value per Share x Issue rate

= 1,000 x 1,000 x 98 %

= $980,000

Discount on issue will be:

= $1,000,000 - $980,000

= $20,000

Amortization of Discount on issue per annum will be:

= $20,000/10

= $2000

Therefore, interest expense will be:

= $80000 + $2000

= $82000
