Answer:
At a premium to the face amount
Explanation:
The bond has a higher coupon rate compared to its market interest of 5%, hence, the bond would be issued at a premium, in other words, the proceeds from the bond issuance would be more than the face amount of $200,000 as shown below using a financial calculator bearing in mind that the calculator would be set to its default end mode before making the following inputs:
N=20(let us assume it has 20 years to maturity and pays a coupon annually)
PMT=12000 (annual coupon=face value*coupon rate=$200,000*6%=$12,000)
I/Y=5(market interest rate without the % sign)
FV=200000
CPT
PV=$224,924.42($24,924.42 premium)
