Question

A company issues $100,000 face value, zero-coupon, 4-year U.S. corporate bonds on January 1, 20XO, when the market rate for similar risk bonds is 12%. The bond uses annual compounding. The firm uses effective-interest amortization. What is the amount for the second discount or premium Bond Payable journal entry

Answer 1

Answer:

Amount = Maturity/(1+risk rate)⁴

Amount = $100,000/(1+0.12)⁴

Amount = $63,552 (Approx)

Interest payable = $63,552 x 0.12

Interest payable = $7,626 (Approx)

Interest payable (2nd period) = ($63,552+$7,626) x 0.12

Interest payable (2nd period) = $8,541 (Approx)
