Answer:
E) $12,000
Explanation:
the bonds were issued at a discount for $93,000
the face value $100,0000
coupon rate 12%
even though the bonds were sold at a discount because the coupon rate was lower than the market rate, the amount of cash paid as interest is based on the face value = $100,0000 x 12% = $12,000
the journal entry to record the sale of the bonds would be:
Dr Cash 93,000
Dr Discount on bonds payable 7,000
Cr Bonds payable 100,000
whatever method the company uses to record interest, the amount of cash paid will always be the same
Answer:

Answer: Selling the bonds at a premium has the effect of causing the cost of borrowing money to be lower than the bond when interest is paid.
Explanation: When a bond is traded above the par value, it is being sold at premium. Since the bond is sold above it, the interest rate is higher but the cost to borrow money is lower. Purchasing a bond a premium is expensive because it is above market value but selling a bond at premium contributes to more money made off of the sale.
Ceteris paribus mean other thing remaining the same.
so the correct answer should be B.
Answer:
The price of the bond is $ 1,041.22
Explanation:
In calculating the price of the bond i discounted the future cashflows consisting of coupon payment and par value at redemption using the discount factor 1/(1+r)^N where r is the semi-annual YTM and N is the relevant period of cash flow.
The remaining coupon payments imply 14 years as a year has passed since the bond was issued.
