1) Face value of the bonds is the maturity amount of the bonds as indicated on the face of the bond contract.
2) Face rate of interest is the amount of interest that will be paid on the bonds as indicated in the bond contract.
3) n = periods, i = annual market rate of interest/periods per year. Bonds typically pay interest twice a year.

Identify and analyze the effect of the issuance of the bonds on January 1, 2017.

To determine the issue price of a bond, the present value of the interest (annuity) and the present value of the principal (lump sum) must be determined and added together.
The issue price of a bond is always calculated using the market rate of interest. The face rate of interest (the rate specified on the bond certificate) determines the amount of interest payments, but the market rate determines the present value of the payments and the present value of the principal. So whenever the tables are used, the market rate is used.
The table values need to be adjusted if the compounding is more frequent than annually. The number of interest periods will increase and the interest rate decreases.
A premium or discount represents the difference between the face value and the issuance price of the bond. A discount is a deduction to the bonds payable liability and thus is a contra-liability. A premium is an addition to the bonds payable liability on the balance sheet.
Identify and analyze the transaction by using the following steps:
1. Determine activity – operating, investing or financing.
2. Determine accounts affected and the amount of increases/decreases.
3. Determine the financial statements affected – balance sheet, income statement.
The accounting equation must balance for each transaction.

2. How would the issue price have been affected if the market rate of interest had been higher than 10%.
Bonds would be issued at a discount.

Feedback

A premium or discount represents the difference between the face value and the issuance price of the bond. Bonds are issued at a discount when the market rate of interest exceeds the face rate. The discount on the bond equals the face value less issue price. Bonds are issued at a premium when the face rate exceeds the market rate. The premium on the bond equals the issue price less face value.

Answer 1

Answer :

As stated , Interest rate of the bonds is equal to the market interest rate ( 10% ) , The bonds are issued at the face value .

Issue price of the bond = 1100 * $ 1000 = $ 1100000

Journal entry :

Date	Account titles and explanation	Debit($)	Credit($)
01-01-2017	Cash	1100000
	To Bonds payable		1100000
	( To record bonds issued at face value )

Issuance of bonds will increase the financing activity by 1100000 in cash flow statement

Bonds payable are generated when a company issues bonds to generate cash. As a bond issuer, the company is a borrower. As such, the act of issuing the bond creates a liability. Thus, bonds payable appear on the liability side of the company’s balance sheet. Generally, bonds payable fall in the long-term class of liabilities.
