XYZ Corp sells its bonds at a premium and applies the effective interest method in amortizing the premium.Do you think the annual interest expense will increase or decrease over the life of the bonds?
It really depends on how much is the premium paid. Effectively if the premium paid is higher than the par value of the bonds issued, the annual interest expense would be relatively lower. Another perspective is that since that both the bonds and its premium uses effective interest method, considering all factors remain the same, the annual interest expense will remain unchanged. Premium of the bond should be captialized within the holders of the bonds and amortized over the years in which the manner best represents. Issuer of the bonds generally do not captialize the premium of the bond separately. You should also note that the bonds issued are not compound financial instruments or contain any embedded derivates.

What makes some bonds sell at a premium while others sell at a discount?
Bonds trade at a premium or discount based on the interest rate demanded by the markets for that specific maturity, credit quality, and details vs. the rate demanded at the time of issue. - Example: Trading at a Discount - For example, the 4.5% US Government bond maturity 02/15/16 is currently trading at a discount. At issuance, you could buy this bond for $100.00 and receive $4.50 every year in interest. However, interest rates are higher today than they were when the bond was issued (currently 4.85% for this maturity/credit quality). Therefore, to receive 4.85% in interest, you must pay less than 100 for the bond you would have paid at issuance. The reverse is true for bonds trading at a premium. If the interest rate had fallen to 4.00%, you would be willing to pay more than 100.00 for the bond.
