On June 1, 2019 Adelphi Corporation issued $240,000 of 6%, 5-year bonds. The bonds which were issued at 99, pay interest on January 1 and June 1. Use this information to calculate the amount of bond discount or premium that is amortized with each interest payment. If this is discount amortization enter as a positive number. If this is premium amortization enter as a negative number.
Par value of bonds = $240,000
Issue price of bonds = 99
Cash receipt from issue of bonds = Par value of bonds x Issue price of bonds
= 240,000 x 99%
= 237,600
Discount on bonds payable = Par value of bonds - Cash receipt from issue of bonds
= 240,000 - 237,600
= $2,400
Life of bonds = 5 year
Interest is payable semi annually.
Discount on bonds payable to be amortized semi annually = Discount on bonds payable/Semi annual interest period
= 2,400/10
= $240
