Company issued a $100,000 face value bond on January 1, 2013. The 10 year term bond was issued at 102 and had a 3% stated rate of interest that is payable on December 31st of each year. What is the carrying value of the bond at the end of Year 3?
Par value of bonds = $100,000
Issue price = 102
Cash received from issue of bonds = Par value of bonds x Issue price
= 100,000 x 102
= $102,000
Premium on bonds payable = Cash received from issue of bonds- Par value of bonds
= 102,000-100,000
= $2,000
Annual amortization of bond premium = Premium on bonds payable/Bond life
= 2,000/10
= $200
Bond premium amortized in 3rd year = Annual amortization of bond premium x 3
= 200 x 3
= $600
Carrying value of bonds at the end of year 3 = Carrying value of bonds at January 1, 2013 - Bond premium amortized in 3rd year
= 102,000-600
= $101,400
