Question

Ivanhoe Company had bonds outstanding with a maturity value of $294,000. On April 30, 2017, when these bonds had an unamortized discount of $9,000, they were called in at 104. To pay for these bonds, Ivanhoe had issued other bonds a month earlier bearing a lower interest rate. The newly issued bonds had a life of 10 years.

Answer 1

Answer:

A)

bonds payable        294,000 debit

loss on redemption  20, 760‬ debit

      cash                                       305,760 credit

      discount on bonds payable     9,000 credit

--to record call of bonds---

B)

cash     299.880‬ debit

 bonds payable        294,000 credit

 premium on bonds     5,880 credit

-- to record issuance of new bonds--

Explanation:

A)

call value

face value: 294,000

call at 104:  294,000 x 104/100 = 305.760‬

carrying value:

bonds payable      294,000

discount on bonds   (9,000)

carrying value       285,000

the loss on redemption will be the difference for call value and carrying value:

305,760 - 285,000 = 20,760‬

B)

the new bods will have a face value of 294,000 and were issued at 102

294,000 x 102/100 = 299.880‬

the diffrence will be a premium for 5,880
