Description:
- Bond Interest Expense is an expense account. Expenses reduce the stockholders’ equity account, and a decrease in equity is debited.
- Premium on Bonds Payable account is an adjunct-liability account, the account which increases the balance of the respective liability account. Since the premium is amortized, the premium value is reduced, and a decrease in liability is debited.
- Cash is an asset account. The amount is decreased because cash is paid, and a decrease in assets should be credited.
Working Notes:
Compute the cash paid.
Compute the amount of bond interest expense.
Compute the amount of amortized premium.
Note: Refer to Equations (1) and (2) for both the values.

Annual log-returns on the fund, denoted by In(1+i+), are assumed to form a series of independent and identically distributed Normal random variables with parameters μ = 7% and σ=10%. An investor has a liability of £20,000 payable at time 10. Calculate the amount of money that should be invested now so that the probability that the investor will be unable to meet the liability as it falls due is only 5%.
