Explanation / Answer

1 What was the issue price on January 1, 2014?

Since Coupon Interest rate = Market Interest rate, Issue Price = Face Value   

Issue price = $ 500,000

2 What amount of interest expense should be recorded on (a) June 30, 2014? and (b) December 31, 2014?

Interest Expenses each semi annual period = 500000*8%*/12 = 20000   

Interest expense on June 30, 2014 $20,000

Interest expense on December 31, 2014 $20,000   

3 What amount of cash interest should be paid on (a) June 30, 2014? and (b) December 31, 2014?

Interest Expenses paid each semi annual period = 500000*8%*/12 = 20000

  
Cash paid June 30, 2014 = $ 20000

Cash paid December 31, 2014 = $ 20000   

4 What is the book value of the bonds on (a) December 31, 2014? and (b) December 31, 2015?


Bonds payable December 31, 2014 = $ 500,000

Bonds payable  December 31, 2015 = $ 500,000
