Question

On 1/1/2017, GarFunkle Company issued a 5-year $1,000,000 bond with stated interest rate of 10%. Interests were payable semiannually on 7/1 and 1/1. The bond was issued for $926,399 cash. GarFunkle amortizes any bond discount/premium using the effective interest method.

(1)What is the semiannual market interest rate for the bond?

(2)Prepare journal entries on 1/1/2017 and 12/31/2017 for GarFunkle.

(3)After paying interests due on 1/1/2019, GarFunkle recalled the entire bond at 101. Recall expenses totaled $1,500. Prepare journal entries for the interest payment and retirement of the bond for GarFunkle.

(4)Assume that everything else is the same except that GarFunkle amortizes any bond discount/premium using the straight-line method. Re-do Item (3) above

Explanation / Answer

use rate formaule to find the market interest rate

=rate(nper,pmt,pv,fv,type)

=rate(10,(1000000*10%/2,-926399,1000000,0,1)

=6%

for annual ytm =6%*2=12

1)semi annual market interest rate is 6%

Cash (db) 926399
discount on bonds payable (db) 73602
bonds payable (cr) 1000000
2)
12/31/2017
Interest expense (db) (6%)*book value of bond= 6%*(926399+5583.94)=55919
discount on bonds payable (cr) 5919
Cash (cr) =(5%)*1000000=50000

3)The book value after paying 1/1/12019 is 950827

recall bond at 1.01*1000000=1010000 the final value
