On January 1, 2019, Kelp Corporation acquired bonds with a face value of $700,000 for $677,829.11, a price that yields a 11% effective annual interest rate. The bonds carry a 10% stated rate of interest, pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31, are due December 31, 2022, and are being held to maturity.
Required:
Prepare journal entries to record the purchase of the bonds and the first two interest receipts using the: |
1. | straight-line method of amortization |
2. | effective interest method of amortization |
discount on investment = face value - purchase price
= 700000 - 677829.11
= 22170.89
straight line amortization per year
= discount / no of years to maturity
= 22170.89/4
= 5542.7225
for semi annual period = 5542.7225 / 2
= 2771.36125
= $ 2771 ( nearest dollar )
cash received as interest for semi-annual period = Face value * stated rate * (6/12)
= 700000 * 10% * (6/12)
= $ 35000
