Answer 1

Answer:

Balance sheet:

bonds payable           80,000

discount on bonds     (3.592,08)

carrying value:           76.407,92

income statment:

interest expense for 6,919.92

cash flow statment:

under financing activities

issuance of bonds for 76,888

and then interest paid on bonds (6,400)

Explanation:

Balance sheet:

we need to detemrinate the carrying valeu after the interest payment.

effective rate:

carrying value x market rate = interest expense(income statment)

      76,888      x        9%        =      6.919,92

cash disbursement:

face vaue x bond rate

80,000 x 8% =     6,400 (cash flowinterest paid)

amortization                                    519,92

carring value in the blaance sheet:

76,888 + 519.92 = 76.407,92

For the cash flow we will reocgnize the cash inflow for the bonds and the cash disbursements for the payment of interest
