Explanation of Solution

Bonds: Bonds are long-term promissory notes that are represented by a company while borrowing money from investors to raise fund for financing the operations.

Bonds Payable: Bonds payable are referred to long-term debts of the business, issued to various lenders known as bondholders, generally in multiples of $1,000 per bond, to raise fund for financing the operations.

Discount on bonds payable: It occurs when the bonds are issued at a low price than the face value.

Straight-line amortization method: It is a method of bond amortization that spreads the amount of the bond discount equally over the interest period.

To determine

Explain the situation when contract rate of bond is less than the market rate of interest.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

Yes, the bond proceeds will always be less than the face amount of bonds when the contract interest rate is less than the market interest rate.

If the stated interest rate of a bond is less than the market interest rate, then the bonds is issued at discount. This is because the bonds is less valuable in market and investors is ready to pay less than the maturity value of bonds.

To determine

Calculate the amount of cash proceeds (present value) from the sale of the bonds using present value tables.

Explanation of Solution

Determine the amount of cash proceeds (present value) from the sale of the bonds.

Step 1: Calculate the semiannual interest on bonds.

Interest=Face value×Face interest rate×Interest time period=$46,000,000×10%×612=$2,300,000

Step 2: Calculate the present value of interest.

ParticularsAmount
Interest payment (a)$2,300,000
PV factor at semiannual market interest rate of 5.5% for 40 periods (b)16.04612

Present value [(a) × (b)]

$36,906,076

Table (4)

Note: Refer Appendix A in the text book for present value factor.

Step 3: Calculate the present value of lump sum payment of $46,000,000 (principal amount) at 5.5% for 40 periods.

ParticularsAmount
Single payment (a)$46,000,000
PV factor at semiannual market interest rate of 5.5% for 40 periods (b)0.11746

Present value [(a) × (b)]

$5,403,160

Table (5)

Note: Refer Appendix A in the text book for present value factor.

Step 4: Calculate the amount of cash proceeds from the sale of the bonds.

Cash proceeds from sale of bonds =(Present value of interest payment + Present value of Lump sum payment)=($36,906,076(from table 4)+$5,403,160(from table 5))  =$42,309,236

Conclusion

Thus, the amount of cash proceeds from the sale of the bonds is $42,309,236.
