Expert Solution

a. Calculation of issue price of the bond:

As the bond pay 7% P.A. interest on face value and the face value amount is $1,000,000. So the interest payment will be $70,000.

As the bond matures in 10 years and the market interest rate is 8% at the time of issue, the present value factor for the bond is 0.4632 . (See the table-1: "Present value of bond" below). Therefore the present value of the bond is: $463,200 (1,000,000 * 0.4632).

Likewise the present value factor for the interest payment is 6.7101 (See the table-2: "Present value of interest" below). Therefore the present value of the interest payment is: $469,707 (70,000 * 6.7101).

Now, after combining the present value of the bond and the present value of the interest payment, we get the issue price of the bond, which is: $932,907 (463,200 + 469,707).

TABLE-1: Present value of bond

TABLE-2: Present value of interest

b. Journal entry to record the issuance of the bond:

Since the issue price of the bond is lower than the face value, the bond will be issued at a discounted price. Find the entry below:

c. Journal entry to record the first interest payment:

Since the bond was issued at a discounted price, now the discount should be amortized with interest. Assuming a straight line method for amortisation , the amount of amortisation per annum will be $6,709 (67,093 / 10 years) Find the entry below:
