To determine

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.

Adjusting entries

Adjusting entries refers to the entries that are made at the end of an accounting period in accordance with revenue recognition principle, and expenses recognition principle.  The purpose of adjusting entries is to adjust the revenue, and the expenses during the period in which they actually occur.

To Prepare: The journal entry to record the issuance of bonds by Incorporation WC (Issuer).

Explanation of Solution

Prepare journal entry to record issuance of bonds by Incorporation WC (Issuer) on April 1, 2018 as shown below:

Date		Account Title and Explanation	Debit ($)	Credit ($)
2018		Cash	29,600,000
April	1
		Discount on Bonds Payable	700,000
		Bonds Payable		30,000,000
		Interest Payable		300,000
		(To record the issuance of bonds)

Table (1)

Working notes:

Calculate the interest payable for 1 month (for March 2018) as shown below:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Interest payable}=\text{Face value of bonds}\times \text{ interest rate}\times \text{Time}\\ =\$30,000,000\times \frac{12}{100}\times \frac{1}{12}\\ =\$300,000\end{array}$

Hence, interest payable amount for one month is $300,000.

Calculatethe amount of cash received.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Cash received = Issue price of bonds + Interest payable}\\ \text{= \$29,300,000 +\$300,000}\\ \text{=\$29,600,000}\end{array}$

Hence, cash received amount is $29,600,000.

Calculate the amount of discount on bonds payable as shown below:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Discount on bonds payable = Face value of bonds – Issue price of bonds}\\ \text{= \$30,000,000 –\$29,300,000}\\ \text{=\$700,000}\end{array}$

Hence, discount on bonds payable amount is $700,000.

• Cash is a current asset, and increased. Therefore, debit cash account for $29,600,000.
• Discount on bonds payable is a contra liability, and decreased. Therefore, debit discount on bonds payable account for $700,000.
• Bonds payable is a long term liability, and increased. Therefore, credit bonds payable account for $30,000,000.
• Interest payable is a current liability, and increased. Therefore, credit interest payable account for $300,000.

		Discount on Bonds Investment (L+)		700
		Cash (A–)		29,600
		(To record the purchase of  bonds)

Table (2)

Working notes:

Calculate the interest receivable for 1 month (for March 2018) as shown below:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Interest receivable}=\text{Face value of bonds}\times \text{ interest rate}\times \text{Time}\\ =\$30,000\times \frac{12}{100}\times \frac{1}{12}\\ =\$300\end{array}$

Hence, interest receivable amount is $300.

Calculatethe amount of cash paid as shown below:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Cash paid = Purchases price of bonds + Interest receivable}\\ \text{= \$29,300 +\$300}\\ \text{=\$29,600}\end{array}$

Hence, cash paid amount is $29,600.

Calculate the amount of discount on bonds investment as shown below:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Discount on bonds investment = Face value of bonds – Issue price of bonds}\\ \text{= \$30,000 –\$29,300}\\ \text{=\$700}\end{array}$

Hence, discount on bonds payable amount is $700.

• Bond investment is a non – current asset, and increased. Therefore, debit bond investment account is $30,000.
• Interest receivable is a current asset, and increased. Therefore, debit interest receivable account is $300.
• Discount on bonds investment is a contra asset, and increased. Therefore, credit discount on bonds investment account for $700.
• Cash is a current asset, and decreased. Therefore, credit cash account for $29,600.

Hence, cash paid amount is $1,800,000.

Calculate the amount of interest expense as shown below:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Interest expense = Cash paid + Discount on bonds payable – Interest payable}\\ =\$1,800,000+\$100,000-\$300,000\\ =\$1,600,000\end{array}$

Hence, interest expense amount is $1,600,000.
