Question

colorado sports ltd. is authorized to issue $5000000 of 4%, 10 years bond payable. On December 31,2014, when the market interest rate is 4.5%, the company issues $3200000 of the bonds. Colorado sports amortizes bond discount by the effective-interest method.The semiannual interest dates are june 30 and december 31. use the pv function in microsoft excel to calculate the issue price of the bonds! Prepare a bond amortization table for the term of the bonds! Record insurance of the bonds payable on December 31, 2014, the first semiannual interest payment on june 30, 2015 and the second payment on December 31, 2015!

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Par Value of the Bonds issued = $3,200,000

Coupon Rate = 4% annual or 2% semi annual

Coupon Interest Amount to be paid on each interest payment date = $3,200,000 x 2% = $64,000

Calculation of Issue Price of the bonds

Market Interest Rate (R) = 4.5% annual or 2.25% semi annual

Number of Interest Payments = 10 years 2 = 20

Issue Price of the bonds = Coupon Payment x PVIFA (2.25%, 20) + Par Value x PVIF (2.25%, 20)

= ($64,000 x 15.9637123686) + ($3,200,000 x 0.64081647159)

= $1,021,678 + $2,050,612

= $3,072,290

Since, Issue price is less than the par value, bonds are issued at discount.

Discount on Bonds Payable = Par Value – Issue Price = $3.200.000 - $3,072,290 = $127,710

Discount on Bonds Payable is amortized over the life of Bonds using effective interest method.
