On January 1, 2020, Bristol Corporation issued one 3-year, 10% (stated rate), $20,000 bond at a price which would yield the purchaser an 9% return. Payment of interest is made on December 31. The year end is December 31. The company uses the ‘effective interest’ method to account for bond interest.
Yield = 9% (Note we always use market/effective/yield/yield to maturity/ real rate to calculate the bond Discount or premium)
Stated Rate = 10%
Face Value = 20,000
Interest per year= 2,000
PV Factor of ordinary annuity at 9% for 3 years = 2.53129
PV factor for $1 for 3 years = 0.77218
Calculating Carrying value of Bond
PV of Principal 15444 (20000*0.77218)
PV of annuity 506 (2000*2.53129)
