Bob uses the effective interest method of amortization of bond premium. Interest is paid on June 30 and December 31.

Determine the loss on redemption of bonds at June 30, Year 17. [11 marks]
Carrying Value of bond After 10 Years = $ 312000
DIscount rate = 10%
Cupon Rate = 12%
Semi Annual interest = 300000 * 12 % * ( 6/12 )
= $ 18000
Interest Expense = Carrying Value * Discount rate * ( 6/12)
= 312000 * 10 % * (6/12)
= $ 15600
Premium Amprtization For june 30 year 17
= 18000 - 15600
= $ 2400
unamportized premium = 12000 - 2400
= $ 9600
Carrying Value of bond = 312000 - 2400
= $ 309600
Cash paid on redemption = ( 300000 / 100 0 * 104 = $ 312000
loss on redemption = Cash paid - Carrying Value of bonds
= 312000 - 309600
= $ 2400
