Chapter 14, Problem E14.29E

To determine

Bonds Payable:

The Bonds payable is the long term liability of the issuer company and contains formal commitment to pay the interest on regular intervals and principal amount to be repaid at the time of maturity which will be fixed at the time of issuance itself.

The Bonds payable is the long term liability issued by the company to finance its expansion or to finance the new project. The bonds may be issued at par or at discount or at premium depending upon the stated rate of interest on the bonds and market rate of interest persistent in the market. Each Bond is having a face value at which it is treated as liability to be paid in future. However, the carrying amount of Bonds payable in the books may differ based on bonds issued at par or at discount or at premium at the time of issue.

The issue price of the bonds shall be determined on the present value of inflows which the investors expect to receive during the life time of the bonds i.e. the regular interest payments at fixed time intervals and maturity value of bonds payable at the time of expiry of period of bonds for which it has been issued. The sum total of present values of both interest and maturity amount is the present value of bonds payable at the time of issue and is considered as an issue price of the bonds.
