Journal entry:
Dr cash $483,841.97
Dr discount on bonds payable $16,158.03
Cr bonds payable $500,000.00
Explanation:
Using a financial calculator, we determine the bond price by using the following inputs:
N=8(number of semiannual coupons in 4 years=4*2=8)
PMT=22500 (semiannual coupon=face value*coupon rate*6/12= $500,000*9%*6/12=$22,500)
I/Y=5(semiannual yield=10%%*6/12=5%)
FV=500000( the face value is $600,000)
CPT PV=$483,841.97
Bond discount=face value-bond price
Bond discount=$500,000-$483,841.97
Bond discount=$16,158.03
The double entries are to debit cash and discount on bonds payable with $483,841.97 and $16,158.03 respectively while bonds payable is credited with the face value of $500,000
