2. Contrast operating and capital leases.
3. Why should a company allocate bond discounts and bond premiums in each period when bonds are outstanding?
Answer-1:
The major difference in the repayment of a mortgage note payable as
compared to that of a bond payable:
Mortgage note payable is the long-term loan which is taken for a
property and property itself is used as the collateral or security
in case of such loans. Mortgage note payable requires the periodic
repayment of the loan (example; monthly). Each installment of the
loan includes the principal as well as the interest
component.
On the other hand bond payable is a long-term debt which is taken
for a long-term period which shall be repaid at the end of the
period. There are no interim payments in case of the bonds payable
and the principal and the accumulated interest is repaid at the end
of the period of the bond.
