equity(assets -liabilities)=45 for A and 100 for B

amortization of discount expense = interest expense-interest paid: 4757-4500
= 257 for yr 1
using cf keys, with n = 6, bv = 47,822.4x.1=4782-4500=282: A company issued a $50,000
7-year bond for $47565. The bonds pay 9 percent per annum and the ytm at issue was 10%. The company uses the
ettective interest rate method to amortize any discounts or premiums on bonds. After the 1st yr, the ytm on bonds is
