Explanation of Solution

Prepare journal entry for cash proceeds from the issuance of the bonds on July 1, 2016.

Date Account Title and Explanation Post Ref Debit ($) Credit ($)
July 1, 2016 Cash    42,309,236  
Discount on Bonds Payable  (1)   3,690,764  
      Bonds Payable     46,000,000
        (To record issuance of bonds payable at discount)      

Table (1)

Working note:

Calculate discount on bonds payable.

Discount on bonds payable = (Face value  Cash received)   =$46,000,000$42,309,236=$3,690,764 (1)

  • Cash is an asset and it is increased. So, debit it by $42,309,236.
  • Discount on Bonds Payable is an adjunct liability account and it is decreased. So, debit it by $3,690,764.
  • Bonds payable is a liability and it is increased. So, credit it by $46,000,000.

Prepare journal entry for first interest payment and amortization of discount on bonds.

Date Account Title and Explanation Post Ref Debit ($) Credit ($)
2016 Interest Expense (4)   2,392,269  
December 31   Discount on Bonds Payable  (2)     92,269
      Cash (3)     2,300,000

Table (2)

Working notes:

Calculate discount on bonds payable semiannually.

 Discount on bonds payable semiannually)=DiscountonbondspayableperyearNumberofsemiannual=$3,690,76440=$92,269  (2)

Calculate the amount of cash interest.

 Cash interest = (Face value×Face interest rate× Interesttimeperiod)   =$46,000,000×10%×612 =$2,300,000 (3)

Calculate the interest expense on the bond.

Interest expense = Cash interest + Discount on bonds payable=$2,300,000+$92,269=$2,392,269 (4)

  • Interest expense is an expense and it decreases the equity value. So, debit it by $2,392,269.
  • Discount on Bonds Payable is an adjunct liability account and it is increased. So, credit it by $92,269.
  • Cash is an asset and it is decreased. So, credit it by $2,300,000.

Explanation of Solution

Yes, the bond proceeds will always be less than the face amount of bonds when the contract interest rate is less than the market interest rate.

If the stated interest rate of a bond is less than the market interest rate, then the bonds is issued at discount. This is because the bonds is less valuable in market and investors is ready to pay less than the maturity value of bonds.

Explanation of Solution

Determine the amount of cash proceeds (present value) from the sale of the bonds.

Step 1: Calculate the semiannual interest on bonds.

Interest=Face value×Face interest rate×Interest time period=$46,000,000×10%×612=$2,300,000

Step 2: Calculate the present value of interest.

Particulars Amount
Interest payment (a) $2,300,000
PV factor at semiannual market interest rate of 5.5% for 40 periods (b) 16.04612
Present value (a)×(b) $36,906,076

Table (4)

Note: Refer Appendix A in the text book for present value factor.

Step 3: Calculate the present value of lump sum payment of $46,000,000 (principal amount) at 5.5% for 40 periods.

Particulars Amount
Single payment (a) $46,000,000
PV factor at semiannual market interest rate of 5.5% for 40 periods (b) 0.11746
Present value (a)×(b) $5,403,160

Table (5)

Note: Refer Appendix A in the text book for present value factor.

Step 4: Calculate the amount of cash proceeds from the sale of the bonds.

Cash proceeds from sale of bonds =(Present value of interest payment + Present value of Lump sum payment)=($36,906,076(from table 4)+$5,403,160(from table 5))  =$42,309,236

Conclusion
Thus, the amount of cash proceeds from the sale of the bonds is $42,309,236
