Exercise 10-9 Straight-Line: Bond computations, amortization, and bond retirement LO P2, P4
[The following information applies to the questions
displayed below.]
On January 1, 2017, Shay issues $390,000 of 8%, 20-year bonds at a price of 97.00. Six years later, on January 1, 2023, Shay retires 20% of these bonds by buying them on the open market at 104.50. All interest is accounted for and paid through December 31, 2022, the day before the purchase. The straight-line method is used to amortize any bond discount.
Exercise 10-9 Part 7
7. Prepare the journal entry to record the bond
retirement at January 1, 2023.
Issue price of bonds = $390,000 * 97% = $378,300
Discount on issue of bonds = $390,000 - $378,300 = $11,700
Annual amortisation of discount = $11,700/20 years = $585
Discount amortised upto December 31, 2022 = $585 * 6 years = $3,510
Book value of bonds as on January 1, 2023 = Issue price + Discount already amortised = $378,300 + $3,510 = $381,810
Book value of bonds retired = $381,810 * 20% = $76,362
Cash paid for retirement of bonds = $390,000 * 20% * 104.50% = $81,510
Loss on retirement of bonds = Cash paid for retirement - Book value = $81,510 - $76,362 = $5,148
Discount unamortised = ($11,700 - $3,510) * 20% = $1,638
