If HK$1,800,000, 5%, bonds are issued on January 1, 2014 and pay interest semi-annually on June 30 and December 31, the total amount of interest paid to bondholders in 2014 will be HK$90,000.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The annual interest payment on the bonds can be calculated as 1,800,000 * 0.05 = 90,000. Since the interest is paid semi-annually, the bondholders will receive half of this amount, which is HK$45,000, on June 30 and another HK$45,000 on December 31. Therefore, the total amount of interest paid to the bondholders in 2014 will be HK$90,000.
