2 Describe the characteristics and terminology of bonds payable. 14-12

2 Bond Characteristics and Terminology The underlying contract between the company issuing bonds and the bondholders is called a bond indenture or trust indenture.

2 Proceeds from Issuing Bonds The market or effective rate of interest is determined by transactions between buyers and sellers of similar bonds. The market rate of interest is affected by a variety of factors, including investors’ expectations of current and future economic conditions.

2 MARKET RATE = CONTRACT RATE Selling price of bond = $1,000 If the contract rate equals the market rate of interest, the bonds will sell at their face amount.

Discount 2 MARKET RATE > CONTRACT RATE Selling price of bond < $1,000 - If the market rate is higher than the contract rate, the bonds will sell at a discount.

Premium 2 MARKET < CONTRACT RATE Selling price of bond > $1,000 + If the market rate is lower than the contract rate, the bonds will sell at a premium.

3 Bonds Issued at Face Amount On January 1, 2009, Eastern Montana Communications Inc. issued for cash $100,000 of 12%, five-year bonds; interest payable semiannually. The market rate of interest is 12%.

3 Since the bond rate of interest and the market rate of interest are the same, the bonds will sell at their face amount.

3 Every six months (on June 30 and December 31) after the bonds are issued, interest of $6,000 ($100,000 × .12 × 6/12) is paid.

3 The bond matured on December 31, 2013. At this time, the corporation paid the face amount to the bondholder.

3 Bonds Issued at a Discount On January 1, 2009, Western Wyoming Distribution Inc. issued $100,000, 12% (paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31), five-year bonds when the market rate was 13%.

The discount may be viewed as the amount required by investors to accept a bond rate of interest below the market rate. 3 On January 1, 2009, the firm issued $100,000 bonds for $96,406 (a discount of $3,594).

Journalize the entry to record the issuance of the bonds. 14-28

3 Amortizing a Bond Discount The two methods of computing amortization of a bond discount are as follows: 1.Straight-line method 2.Effective interest rate method, sometimes called the interest method Both methods amortize the same total amount of discount over the life of the bonds.

3 Straight-Line Amortization On June 30, 2009, six-months’ interest is paid and the bond discount is amortized ($3,594 × 1/10) on the five-year bond issued in Slide 27. * *$100,000 × 12% × 6/12

Follow My Example 14-3 Interest Expense……………………………. 36,358 Discount on Bonds Payable………… 6,358 Cash…………...………………………… 30,000 Paid interest and amortized the bond discount ($63,580 ÷ 10).

3 Bond Redemption A corporation may call or redeem bonds before they mature. Callable bonds can be redeemed by the issuing corporation within the period of time and the price stated in the bond indenture. Normally, the call price is above the face value.

3 On June 30, a corporation has a bond issue of $100,000 outstanding on which there is an unamortized premium of $4,000. The corporation purchases one-fourth of the bonds for $24,000. Gains and losses on the redemption of bonds are reported as Other Income (Loss).

Unlike bonds, a note payment consists of payment of a portion of the amount initially borrowed (the principal) and payment of interest on the outstanding balance.
