The amount of the proceeds from the issuance that should be accounted for as the initial carrying value of the bonds payable would be:______
c. $400,000.
Explanation:
Bonds issued at 103, 9% $1,000
Number of bonds issued = 400
Face value of bonds = $1,000 * 400 = $400,000
Proceeds from Bonds = $1,030 * 400 = $412,000
Premium from bonds issue = $12,000 ($412,000 - 400,000)
Carrying amount = $400,000
$400,000 is the bonds payable at maturity. The $12,000 bonds premium will be amortized with the interest expense. This implies that for the life of the bonds, part of the $12,000 will be deducted from the annual interest expense.
