1. What was the bond's issue price?
2. Did the bond sell at a discount or a premium? How much was the premium or discount?
3. What amount(s) should be shown on the balance sheet for bonds payable at the year-end of 2018 and 2019?
4. Show how the following amounts: (a) $60, (b) $77, (c) $17, and (d) $981 were computed for 2019 in the amortization schedule.
Solution:
1) Bond's issue price = $ 948
2) Bond sell at Discount and Discount is $ 52 [ $1000 - $ 948]
3) Amount(s) should be shown on the balance sheet for bonds payable at the year-end
2018 = $ 964
2019 = $ 981
4) Following amounts: (a) $60, (b) $77, (c) $17, and (d) $981 Computation:
A) Cash Interest Payment = $1000 *6% = $ 60
B) Interest Expense = Book Value on Dec. 31, 2018 * Market Rate = $ 964 * 8% = $ 77
C) Amortization = Interest Expense - Cash Interest Payment = $77-$60 =$17
D) Book Value of bonds = $ 964 + $ 17 = $ 981
