Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
January 1, 2018:
Face value of 9% bonds issued = $340,000
Proceeds from issue of bonds = 373,648
Premium on issue of bonds = $33,648
Coupon Interest rate = 9%
Payment = Semiannually on June 30 and December 31
Market interest rate = 8%
June 30:
Interest expense = $14,946 ($373,648 * 4%)
Cash payment = 15,300 ($340,000 * 4.5%)
Amortized premium $354
Fair value of bonds = $373,294 ($373,648 - $354)
December 31:
Interest expense = $14,932 ($373,294 * 4%)
Cash payment = 15,300 ($340,000 * 4.5%)
Amortized premium $368
Fair value of bonds = $372,926 ($373,294 - $368)
