Question 6
Assume that a bond is issued with the following characteristics:
Date of bonds: January 1, 2005; maturity date: January 1, 2010; face value: $200,000; face interest rate: 10 percent paid semiannually (5 percent per period); market interest rate: 8 percent (4 percent per semiannual period); issue price: $216,222; bond premium is amortized using the straight-line method of amortization. What is the amount of bond premium amortization for the June 30, 2005, adjusting entry?
A- $811 |
|
B- $1,622 |
C- $8,111 |
|
D- $16,222 |
Answer:
Correct answer is:
B- $1,622
Explanation:
Issue price = $216,222
Face value = $200,000
Date of bonds: January 1, 2005; maturity date: January 1, 2010
Interest rate: 10 percent paid semiannually
Number of semiannual payments = 5 * 2 = 10
Bond Premium = Issue price - Face value = $216,222 - $200,000 = $16,222
Bond premium is amortized using the straight-line method of amortization
Amount of bond premium amortization for the June 30, 2005, adjusting entry = Bond Premium / Number of periods = $16,222 /10 = $1,622.20 = $1,622 (rounded off to nearest dollar)
Hence option B is correct.
Option D is incorrect since $16,222 is total bond premium.
As calculated above amortization per period is $1622 hence option A and C are incorrect.
