Answer 1

Answer:

a) Cash received = $183,350

b) Interest expense = $12,730

c) Carrying value = $186,010

Explanation:

As per the data given in the question,

a) Face value of bond = $190,000

Issued at =0.965

Cash received = $190,000 × 0.965

= $183,350

b) Discount on bonds payable = $190,000 - $183,350

=$6,650

Annual amortization of discount on bonds payable =$6,650÷5

= $1,330

Cash interest = $190,000×0.60

= $11,400

Interest expenses = $11,400+$1,330

= $12,730

c)

carrying value = $183,350 + ($1,330 × 2)

= $186,010
