Accounting and the Time Value of Money (Part W)

Computing Bond Issue Proceeds


A common application of time value of money concepts is determining the amount of cash received when a company issues a bond to raise capital. With a bond, a company receives cash from a lender today, usually in return for the commitment to pay a fixed amount back at a certain future date when the bond matures, called the face value. The company typically also promises to pay periodic interest payments at fixed amounts until that date the interest payment is based on an interest rate the company agrees to when it issues the bond. We will discuss bonds in detail in later posts. Here we focus on using the time value of money to determine how much cash a company will receive when it issues a bond.


To determine the amount of cash received we take the present value of the future cash outflows on the bond. The present value combines the present value of an amount paid when the bond matures and the present value of periodic interest payments. The interest rate used to discount these cash flows is the interest rate at which the company borrows the cash, the market interest rate.



Exhibit 7.14 summarizes the different types of time value of money problems and related solution techniques from throughout preceding parts of this analysis.
