Data From E14.18

On June 30, 2013, Auburn Limited issued 12% bonds with a par value of $800,000 due in 20 years. They were issued at 98 and were callable at 104 at any date after June 30, 2020. Because of lower interest rates and a significant change in the company's credit rating, it was decided to call the entire issue on June 30, 2020, and to issue new bonds. New 10% bonds were sold in the amount of $1 million at 102; they mature in 20 years. The company follows ASPE and uses straight-line amortization. The interest payment dates are December 31 and June 30 of each year.
