Bonds

Bonds are a kind of interest bearing notes payable, usually issued by companies, universities and governmental organizations. It is a debt instrument used for the purpose of raising fund of the corporations or governmental agencies. If selling price of the bond is equal to its face value, it is called as par on bond. If selling price of the bond is lesser than the face value, it is known as discount on bond. If selling price of the bond is greater than the face value, it is known as premium on bond.

Straight-line amortization bond

Straight line method of amortization is a process of amortizing premium on bond or discount on bond, which allocates the same amount of interest expense in each period of interest payment.

To Prepare: The journal entry to record the issuance of bonds of Company S on January 1, 2017.

Explanation of Solution

Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of bonds of Company S on January 1, 2017 as shown below:

Date	Account title and Description	Debit	Credit
January 1, 2017	Cash (1)	$3,090,000
	Premium on bonds payable (2)		$90,000
	Bonds payable		$3,000,000
	(To record the issuance of bonds payable at premium value  for Company S )

Table (1)

Working notes:

Calculate Cash received from issuance of bonds payable of Company S as shown below:

  $\begin{array}{c}\text{Cash received =}\text{Face value of bonds }\times 1.03\\ \text{=}\text{\$3,000,000}\times \text{1}\text{.03}\\ \text{=}\text{\$3,090,000}\end{array}$ (1)

Calculate premium on bonds payable of Company S as shown below:

  $\begin{array}{c}\text{Premium on bonds payable}=\text{ Cash received}\text{– Face value of bonds}\\ =3,090,000\text{ –}\$3,000,000\\ =\$90,000\end{array}$ (2)

Description:

• Cash is a current asset, and increased. Therefore, debit cash account for $3,090,000.
• Premium on bonds payable is a contra liability, and increased. Therefore, credit premium on bonds payable for $90,000.
• Bonds payable is a long-term liability, and increased. Therefore, credit bonds payable account for $3,000,000.

Table (2)

Working notes:

Calculate Cash received from issuance of bonds payable of Company S as shown below:

  $\begin{array}{c}\text{Cash received =}\text{Face value of bonds }\times 0.98\\ \text{=}\text{\$3,000,000}\times 0.98\\ \text{=}\text{\$2,940,000}\end{array}$ (1)

Calculate discount on bonds payable of Company S as shown below:

  $\begin{array}{c}\text{Discount on bonds payable}=\text{ Face value of bonds}-\text{Cash received}\\ =3,000,000\text{ –}\$2,940,000\\ =\$60,000\end{array}$ (2)

Description:

• Cash is a current asset, and increased. Therefore, debit cash account for $2,940,000.
• Discount on bonds payable is a contra liability, and decreased. Therefore, debit discount on bonds payable for $960,000.
• Bonds payable is a long-term liability, and increased. Therefore, credit bonds payable account for $3,000,000.

To determine

To Prepare: The premium on bond amortization table schedule for the first three payments of bonds payable.

Explanation of Solution

Prepare the premium on bond amortization table schedule for the first three payments of bonds payable as shown below:

Figure (1)

Description:

Interest to be paid is calculated by multiplying face value of bonds with stated interest rate. Interest expense to be recorded is calculated by deducting premium amortization bonds from interest to be paid. Premium amortization is calculated by dividing premium on bonds payable by number of years for premium. Unamortized premium is calculated by deducting current year premium amortization from previous year unamortized premium amount. Carrying value of bonds is calculated by adding face value of bonds with current year unamortized premium.

To determine

To Prepare: The discount on bond amortization table schedule for the first three payments of bonds payable.

Explanation of Solution

Prepare the discount on bond amortization table schedule for the first three payments of bonds payable as shown below:

Figure (2)

Description:

Interest to be paid is calculated by multiplying face value of bonds with stated interest rate. Interest expense to be recorded is calculated by deducting discount amortization bonds from interest to be paid. Discount amortization is calculated by dividing discount on bonds payable by number of years for discount. Unamortized discount is calculated by deducting current year discount amortization from previous year unamortized discount amount. Carrying value of bonds is calculated by taking the difference between face value of bonds and current year unamortized discount.
