Par value of bonds = $2,760,000
Issue price of bonds = 94
Cash received from issue of bonds = Par value of bonds x Issue price
= 2,760,000 x 94%
= $2,594,400
Discount on issue of bonds = Par value of bonds - Cash received from issue of bonds
= 2,760,000-2,594,400
= $165,600
Annual interest payment = Par value of bonds x Interest rate
= 2,760,000 x 12%
= $331,200
Annual amortization of bond discount = Bond discount / Bond life
= 165,600/5
= $33,120
The entry on December 31 to record accrued bond interest and the amortization of bond discount using the straight-line method will be as under:
Date | General Journal | Debit | Credit |
December 31 | Interest expense | $364,320 | |
Discount on bonds payable | $33,120 | ||
