Explanation of Solution

Bonds Payable: Bonds payable are referred to long-term debts of the business, issued to various lenders known as bondholders, generally in multiples of $1,000 per bond, to raise fund for financing the operations.

Effective-interest method of amortization: It is an amortization model that apportions the amount of bond discount or premium based on the market interest rate.

Present Value: The current value of an amount that is to be paid or received in future is called as present value.

Determine the issuance price of the bonds.

Step 1: Calculate the cash interest payment for bonds.

Cash interest payment=Face value×Coupon rate×Interest time period=$700,000×13%×12=$45,500

Step 2: Calculate the present value of cash interest payment.

ParticularsAmount
Interest payment (a)$45,500
PV factor at annual market interest rate of 6% for 10 periods (b)7.3601
Present value (a×b)$334,885

Table (1)

Note: The present value factor for 10 periods at 6% interest would be 7.36010 (Refer Appendix A (Table A.2) in the book for present value factor).

Step 3: Calculate the present value of single principal payment of $700,000 (principal amount) at 6% for 10 periods.

ParticularsAmount
Single principal payment (a)$700,000
PV factor at annual market interest rate of 6% for 10 periods (b)0.5584
Present value (a×b)$390,880

Table (2)

Note: The present value factor for 10 periods at 6% interest would be 0.5584 (Refer Appendix A (Table A.1) in the book for present value factor).

Step 4: Calculate the issue price of the bonds.

Issue price of the bonds =(Present value of interest payment + Present value of single principal payment)=($334,885(from table 1)+$390,880(from table 2))  =$725,765

Conclusion

Hence, the issuance price of the bonds on January 1, 2014 is $725,765.

Explanation of Solution

Bonds: Bonds are long-term promissory notes that are issued by a company while borrowing money from investors to raise fund for financing the operations.

Interest Expense: The cost of debt which is occurred during a particular period of time is called interest expense. The interest amount is payable on the principal amount of debt at a fixed interest rate.

Calculate the amount of interest expense that that should be recorded on June 30, 2014.

Interest expense=(Book value of bond (issue price)×Market interest rate×Interesttime period)= $725,765×12%×12=$43,546

Conclusion

Hence, amount of interest expense that should be recorded on June 30, 2014 is $43,546.
