12%

Explanation:

The semi annual market rate of interest on the bonds will be the interest expense divided by the carrying value i.e issue price of bond which is then multiplied by 100%. This will be mathematically expressed as:

= 1,034,037/17,233,953 × 100

= 0.06 × 100

= 6%

This implies that the semi annual market interest rate is 6%.

Since we are told to calculate the market annual rate of interest on the bonds, we multiply the value of 6% by 2 since 12 months make a year and we used 6 months for the calculation above which is semi annual. This will be:

= 6% × 2

= 12%

Therefore, the market annual rate of interest on the bonds is 12%
