>Bonds Payable are the source of finance for the companies.

 

>The bondholders are entitle for a fixed amount of periodic interest payments, calculated based on coupon stated rate and face value of bonds.

 

>Bonds can be issued at Premium or at discount or at face value.

-

Stated Interest rate is MORE than Market Interest Rate

>This means that investor will get MORE interest than he would have earned by investing in market.

>For this additional interest income, the issue of bonds charges certain premium.

>Bonds are issued at Premium, and Bond price will be 'greater than 100'.

 

Stated Interest rate is LESS than Market Interest Rate

>This means that investor will get MORE interest by investing in market than investing in these bonds.
