    The bonholders will receive 160,000 in cash on December 31th, 2018

    Explanation:

    The cash proceeds will be the same regardless of the method of amortization

    Face Value x interest rate = cuopon payment

    2,000,000 x 8% = 160,000

    The bonholders will receive 160,000 in cash on December 31th, 2018

    The market rate will be use to calculate the amortization on the bond.

    For the cuopon payment, we will always use the bond interest rate and the face value.
