Question

On January 1 of this year, Trucks R Us Corporation issued bonds with a face value of $ 2,000,000 and a coupon rate of 10 percent. The bonds mature in five years and pay interest semiannually every June 30 and December 31. When the bonds were sold, the annual market rate of interest was 10 percent.
Required:
(a) What was the issue price on January 1 of this year?

Answer 1

Bonds Payable amount reflected in balance sheet = $2192890

Face Value = $2000000

Coupon Rate = 10%

Maturity Period = 10 years

Number of compounding = 2

Interest = $2000000 * 10% * 6/12 = $100000

Period = 2 * 10 = 20

Maturity Value = Face Value = $2000000

Market Interest Rate semiannually = 0.085 / 2 = 0.0425

Market Value = Present Value of Future Cash Flows

= PV of Interest + PV of maturity value

= (Interest * PVAF (4.25%, 20)) + (Maturity Value * PVIF (4.25%, 20))

= (100000 * 13.29437) + (2000000 * 0.434989)

= $1329437 + $869978

= $2199415

Since market value is greater than face value, we can say that bonds are issued at a premium.

Premium = $2199415 - $2000000 = $199415

Bonds Payable amount is a liability account that carries the quantity owed to bondholders by way of the company. This account usually seems in the lengthy-term liabilities section of the stability sheet, on account that bonds usually mature in more than one year.
