Answer:
Stated yield is 11.04%
expected yield is 5.78%
Explanation:
The expected yield to maturity can be computed using the rate formula in excel which is given below:
=rate(nper,pmt,-pv,fv)
nper is the number of coupon interest the bond would pay which is 13
pmt is the amount of coupon interest the bond pays which is $1000*10%=$100
pv is the current price of the bond which is $930
fv is the face value of $1000
=rate(13,100,-930,1000)=11.04%
However the expected yield has the coupon interest reduced to one -half as calculated below:
=rate(13,100*0.5,-930,1000)=5.78%
Answer:
1) Debit Bank $11787069 Debit bond discount $912931 ; Credit Bond $12700000
2) Debit Interest expense $751293 ; Credit Bank $660,000 Credit Discount on Bond payable $91293
3 )Debit interest expense $ 751293 ; Credit bank 660000, Credit discount on bond payable $91293
b)Interest expense = $1502586
c)It is because a financial crisis might have happened prior to issuing the bond and the company still went ahead with issuing even though the rate has changed.
Explanation:
interest expense = 12000000 * 0.11 * 6/12=$660000
discount on bond payable = $912931 /5 = 182586 /2= 91293
Interest expense = $751293 * 2 = $1502586
