    The true interest rate that company paying = 11.75%

    Explanation:

    The bond amount that is sold by the company = $1000000

    The time period for the bonds = 15 years

    The rate of interest on bond per year = 4 percent.

    The selling fee = $50000

    Annual expense for mailing and record maintenance = $70256

    Now we have to calculate the true interest rate that the company is paying.

    PMT = 1000,000 * 4% + 70256 = 110256

    PV = 1000000 - 50000 = 950000

    RATE = RATE (15,110256, - (950000),1000000) (using excel or Finance calculator) = 11.75%
