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=$750,000,000×5%×12=$18,750,000

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

ParticularsAmount
Interest payment (a)$18,750,000
PV factor at annual market interest rate of 2% for 20 periods (b)16.35143
Present value (a)×(b)$306,589,313

Table (1)

Note: The present value factor for 20periods at 2% interest would be 16.35143 (Refer Appendix E (Table E.2) in the book for present value factor).

Step 3: Calculate the present value of single principal payment of $750,000,000 (principal amount) at 2% for 20 periods.

ParticularsAmount
Single principal payment (a)$750,000,000
PV factor at annual market interest rate of 2% for 20 periods (b)0.67297
Present value (a)×(b)$504,727,500

Table (2)

Note: The present value factor for 20periods at 2% interest would be 0.67297 (Refer Appendix E (Table E.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)=($306,589,313(from table 1)+$504,727,500(from table 2))  =$811,316,813

Conclusion

Hence, The issuance price of the bondson January 1 of this Year is $811,316,813.

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 of this year.

Interest expense=(Book value of bond (issue price)×Market interest rate×Interesttime period)= $811,316,813×4%×12=$16,226,336

Conclusion

Hence, amount of interest expense that should be recorded on June 30 of this year is $16,226,336.

To determine
