Answer:

a. Determine the price of the bonds at January 1, 2021.

market price:

PV of face value = $33,000,000 / 1.04²⁰ = $15,060,769

PV of coupon payments = $990,000 x 13.590 (PV annuity factor, 4%, 20 periods) = $13,454,100

market price = $28,514,869

b. Prepare the journal entry to record the bond issuance by Bishop on January 1, 2021.
