[The following information applies to the questions
displayed below.]
On January 1, 2016, Shay issues $390,000 of 8%, 20-year bonds at a
price of 97.00. Six years later, on January 1, 2022, 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, 2021, the
day before the purchase. The straight-line method is used to
amortize any bond discount.
1. How much does the company receive when it issues the bonds on
January 1, 2016?
2. What is the amount of the discount on the bonds
at January 1, 2016?
3. How much amortization of the discount is recorded on the bonds for the entire period from January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2021?
4. What is the carrying (book) value of the
bonds and the carrying value of the 20% soon-to-be-retired bonds as
of the close of business on December 31, 2021?
5. How much did the company pay on January 1,
2022, to purchase the bonds that it retired?
6. What is the amount of the recorded gain or loss
from retiring the bonds?
7. Prepare the journal entry to record the bond
retirement at January 1, 2022.
1) company receive when it issues the bonds on January 1, 2016 = 390000*97/100 = 378300
2)amount of the discount on the bonds at January 1, 2016 = Face value - issue price
= 390000-378300
= $ 11700
3)annual amortisation :discount /years to maturity
=11700 /20
=585
year expired :1 jan 2016 -31 dec2021 =6
Total amortisation : 585 *6 = 3510
4)Carrying value of bond = Issue price + total amortisation
= 378300+3510
= 381810
carrying value of bond 20 % retired : 381810 *.20 =$ 76362
