On April 1, 2017 FIRE retired its note payable and on July 1, 2017 the company issued a bond. Bond information Face value $90000 Coupon rate 6.0% Term 9 years Net proceeds $98,000 Interest will be paid semi-annually on December 31 and June 30. At the investor's option, each $2,000 bond is convertible into 50 common shares of the company. Your investigation into similar bond issues showed that had the company issued the debt without the conversion option, the market rate of interest on the bond would have been 8.0% . In accounting for the issuance of the debt, the prior controller debited cash for the full proceeds, credited Bond payable on the balance sheet for the face value, and credited the difference to the income statement (Gain on bond issue). The December 31 interest payment was coded to Interest Expense. What is the journal entry?
