Explanation:
(a) Preparation of the entry to record the interest expense at October 1, 2020. Assume that accrued interest payable was credited when the bonds were issued.
Dr Interest Payable $75,717
[($4,130,000*0.11)/2*(2/6)]
Dr Interest expense $154,233
[($4,130,000*.11)/2*(4/6) + $2,800]
Cr Discount on Bonds payable $2,800
($700*4)
Cr Cash $227,150
[ ( $4,130,000*.11)/2]
Calculation for the discount per month
First step is to calculate the remaining months
Months remaining= (10 years *12-2)
Months remaining=118 months
Second step is to calculate the Total discount
Total Discount=$4,130,000-($4,130,000*.98)
total discount=$4,130,000-$4,047,400
total discount=$82,600
Now let calculate the discount per month
Discount per month=($82,600/118)
Discount per month=$700
(b) Preparation of the entry to record the conversion on April 1, 2021
Dr Bonds payable $1,548,750
Cr Discount on Bonds payable $28,350
Cr Common Stock$504,000
(24,000*$21)
Cr Paid-in capital in excess of par- Common Stock $1,073,100
[$1,548,750+$28,350-($504,000)]
Calculation for Unamortized bond discount
Discount of the bonds $30,975
($82,600*(3/8))
Less Discount amortized ($2,625)
[($82,600/118)*10 years*(3/8)]
Unamortized bond discount $28,350
($30,975-$2,625)
