Capital Company issued $600,000, 10%, 20-year bonds on January 1, 2014, at 103. Interest is payable semiannually on July 1 and January 1. Capital uses the straight-line method of amortization and has a calendar year end. Instructions Prepare all (3) journal entries made in 2014 related to the bond issue.
PLEASE show the journal entry for payment of interest
par value of bonds = $600,000
Cash receipts of issue of bonds = 600,000 x 103%
= $618,000
Premium on bonds payable = Cash receipts of issue of bonds - par value of bonds
= 618,000-600,000
= $18,000
Semi annually interest payment = par value of bonds x Interest rate x 6/12
= 600,000 x 10% x 6/12
= $30,000
Semi annually amortization of bond premium = Premium on bonds payable/40
= 18,000/40
= $450
