On June 30, 2017, Sneezy purchased $75,000, 10%, 12 year bonds of Huntsman Corporation for $78,000 cash. The bonds pay interest semi-annually each June 30 and December 31. Straight-line amortization is used when necessary. On December 31, 2017, the market price of the bonds was $78,500. (Hint: you may want to identify face, stated rate, annual interest, semi-annual interest, price, and premium/discount) Assuming the bonds were purchased as available for sale securities, indicate the financial statement presentation of the investment related accounts on December 31, 2017. Be sure to indicate whether the account appears on the income statement or balance sheet and the amounts.
The Premium on issue of Bond = $78000 - $75000 = $3000
The Straight line amortization, the Semiannual amortization = 3000/24 = 125
The Semiannual Interest payment = $75000 x 10%/2= 3750
