Answer:

issue $700,000 in 5 year bonds that pay 13% semiannual coupons (coupon = $45,500)

market interest rate 12%, so bonds will be sold at a premium

1) What was the issue price on January 1 of this year?

issue price = present value of face value + present value of interest payments

  • present value of face value = $700,000 / (1 + 6%)¹⁰ = $390,876
  • present value of annuity = $45,500 x {1 - [1 / (1 + 6%)¹⁰]} / 6% = $334,884

issue price = $390,876 + $334,884 = $725,760

journal entry to record issuance of the bonds:

Dr Cash 725,760

    Cr Bonds payable 700,000

    Cr Premium on bonds payable 25,760

2) What amount of interest expense should be recorded on June 30 and December 31 of this year?

amortization of bond premium June 30 = ($725,760 x 6%) - ($700,000 x 6.5%) = $43,546 - $45,500 = -$1,954

Journal entry June 30th, first coupon payment:

Dr Interest expense 43,546

Dr Premium on bonds payable 1,954

    Cr Cash 45,500

amortization of bond premium December 31 = ($727,714 x 6%) - ($700,000 x 6.5%) = $43,663 - $45,500 = -$1,837

Journal entry December 31st, second coupon payment:

Dr Interest expense 43,663

Dr Premium on bonds payable 1,837

    Cr Cash 45,500

3) What amount of cash should be paid to investors June 30 and December 31 of this year?

$45,500 per coupon payment

4) What is the book value of the bonds on June 30 and December 31 of this year?

Book value on June 30th:

Bonds payable $700,000

Premium on bonds payable $23,806

Book value on December 31st:

Bonds payable $700,000

Premium on bonds payable $21,969

Nina [5.8K]

Answer: $972,900

Explanation:

The cost of land consists of the actual purchase price, and all other expenses that are necessary to make the asset ready for its intended use. In terms of land, all these expenditures can include title fees, unpaid taxes from previous years only (i.e. not current taxes), and other expenses need to physically prepare the land for use. The current taxes figure of $4,600 is not included here, as it is only owed during the current year, therefore normal accounting rules for taxes will apply. This figure will thus be treated as a liability until it is paid. The back taxes were aqcuired when the asset was aqcuired, and thus form part of the cost.

Old buildings that were on the land, may need to be teared down so that land can be utilised. The costs used to demolish the building also forms part of the purchase price. On top of that, to fully prepare the land for use the land may need to be landscaped and leveled. All these costs contribute towards getting the land ready for use, and are thus included in the cost. Sales made on any item related to the land, during the process when the land was still being processed for its intended use, will reduce the cost of the asset, and deduct this figure. This figure will fall under sales, which is an income to the business. The full calculation of the cost is as follows:

Purchase price: $910,000

Title insurance: + $2,400

Unpaid property taxes: + $8,300

Cost of removing building: + $45,900

Sale of salvaged materials: - $4,000

Level the land: + $10,300

Cost of land: = $972,900
