Answer:
Oak Co.
The amount that Oak should report as bonds payable, net of discount is:
$400,000.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cash from the issue of 400 bonds = 400 * $1,000 * 97/100 = $388,000
Interest rate = 8% semiannually on April 1 and October 1
Bonds payable = $400,000 ($1,000 * 400)
Date of bonds = October 1, 2003
Accrued interest from October 1, 2003 to January 1, 2004 = $8,000
b) The bonds payable is the face value of the bonds. It is the amount that will be due for repayment to bondholders on the maturity of the bonds in 10 years' time, precisely on October 1, 2013.
