6/30/2021     $7,000                 6,057                   943               200,971

12/31/2021     $7,000                6,027                    971              200,000

Total cash interest per year = $14,000 ($7,000 + $7,000)

Annual stated interest rate = 7% ($14,000/$200,000 x 100)

This annual interest rate can also be worked out as 7% ($7,000/$200,000 x 100 x 2), while the effective interest rate is 6% ($6,027/$200,000 x 100).

Thus, Lopez Plastics Co. issued the callable bonds at the annual stated interest rate of 7%.
