On the first day of its fiscal year, Chin Company issued $10,000,000 of five-year, 7% bonds to finance its operations of produci

ng and selling home improvement products. Interest is payable semiannually. The bonds were issued at a market (effective) interest rate of 8%, resulting in Chin Company receiving cash of $9,594,415.
a. Journalize the entries to record the following:
1. Issuance of the bonds.
2. First semiannual interest payment. The bond discount amortization is combined with the semiannual interest payment. (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)
3. Second semiannual interest payment. The bond discount amortization is combined with the semiannual interest payment. (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)
Bonds Payable is always recorded at face value. Any difference in issue price is reflected in a premium or discount account. The straight-line method of amortization provides equal amounts of amortization over the life of the bond.
b. Determine the amount of the bond interest expense for the first year.

c. Why was the company able to issue the bonds for only $9,594,415 rather than for the face amount of $10,000,000.?

Answer:

Chin Company

Journal Entries

1. Issuance of the bonds:

Debit Cash $9,594,415

Debit Bond Discounts $405,585

Credit Bonds Liability $10,000,000

To record the issuance of the bonds at a discount.

2. June 30:

Debit Bond Interest Expense $383,777

Credit Cash $350,000

Credit Amortization of Bond Discount $33,777

To record the first interest payment and amortization of bond discount.

3. December 31:

Debit Bond Interest Expense $385,128

Credit Cash $350,000

Credit Amortization of Bond Discount $35,128

To record the second interest payment and amortization of bond discount.

b. The amount of the bond interest expense for the first year:

June 30: Bonds' Interest expense = $383,777

Dec. 31: Bonds' Interest expense = $385,128

Total bond interest expense for the first year = $768,905

c. Chin Company was able to issue the bonds for only $9,594,415 rather than for the face amount of $10,000,000 because the bonds were issued at a discount and not face value.  Bonds can be issued at face value, discount, or premium, depending on the prevailing investor's sentiments and the attractiveness of the bonds to investors.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations

Face value of bonds = $10 million

Discounted value (Cash receipt) = $9,594,415

Total amount of discount = $405,585

Bond's interest rate = 7%

Market yield = 8%

Bond maturity period = 5 years

Payment period = semiannually

Issuance of the bonds:

Cash $9,594,415 Bond Discounts $405,585 Bonds Liability $10,000,000

June 30:

Cash payment for interest = $350,000 ($10,000,000 * 3.5%)

Bonds' Interest expense = $383,777 ($9,594,415 * 4%)

Amortization of bond discount = $33,777 ($383,777 - $350,000)

Bond book value = $9,628,192 ($9,594,415 + $33,777)

December 31:

Cash payment for interest = $350,000 ($10,000,000 * 3.5%)

Bonds' Interest expense = $385,128 ($9,628,192 * 4%)

Amortization of bond discount = $35,128 ( $385,128 - $350,000)

Bond book value = $9,663,410 ($9,628,192 + $35,218)

fgiga [73]

Answer:

option (c) $25 million

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

The marginal propensity to consume in Frugalia, MPC = 0.60

Increase in spending = $10 million

Now,

The total increase in income

= \frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{1-MPC}}  × Increase in spending

on substituting the respective values, we get

= \frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{1-0.6}}  × $10 million

=  \frac{\textup{1}}{\textup{0.4}}  × $10 million

or

= 2.5 × $10 million

or

= $25 million

Hence,

The answer is option (c) $25 million
