The following is taken from Spacecraft Corp.’s balance sheet at December 31, 2016.
Current liabilities | ||||
Interest payable | $ 92,500 | |||
Long-term liabilities | ||||
Bonds payable (7%, due January 1, 2027) | $4,200,000 | |||
Less: Discount on bonds payable | 42,000 | 4,158,000 |
Interest is payable annually on January 1. The bonds are callable
on any annual interest date. Spacecraft uses straight-line
amortization for any bond premium or discount. From December 31,
2016, the bonds will be outstanding for an additional 10 years (120
months).
So far, I have debited bond payable for 700,000 and credit cash for 714,000. I do not understand how to calculate the loss of bond redemption and the discount on bonds payable.
(c) | Assume on January 1, 2018, after paying interest, that Spacecraft. calls bonds having a face value of $700,000. The call price is 102. Record the redemption of the bonds and then prepare the adjusting entry at Dec 31, 2018 to amortize bond discount and to accrue interest on the remaining bonds. | |
