The issue price for a bond is determined by taking the present value associated with the principle and interest portions of the bond using the effective interest rate.
Bonds can be issued at par, discount, or premium. If a bond is issued at par, the stated rate and the effective interest rate are the same. If the bond is issued at a discount, it is being issued lower than face value. This occurs when the stated rate on the bond is lower than an alternative investment on the market. In order to entice investors to purchase the bond it is offered at a discount. If a bond is issued at a premium, it is being issued at more than face value. This occurs when the stated interest rate is higher than the current market rate.
