Professor Hawley: So, um, let's go ahead,
we'll just work on this together.
-
Not Synced
Um, it says, presented below are two
independent situations.
-
Not Synced
So, George Gershwin Company sold
$2,000,000 of 10%, 10-year bonds at 104
-
Not Synced
on January 1st of '25.
-
Not Synced
The bonds were dated January 1st of '25.
-
Not Synced
Okay, that was probably a repeat.
-
Not Synced
And, pay interest on July 1st and
January 1st.
-
Not Synced
If Gershwin uses the straight line method
to amortize bond premium or discount,
-
Not Synced
determine the amount of interest expense
to be reported on July 1st '25 and
-
Not Synced
December 31st of '25.
-
Not Synced
Alright, well what I would like to do is
start with the entry that would have been
-
Not Synced
recorded when they issued the bond,
just so that we can kind of get that on
-
Not Synced
paper so we can see it.
-
Not Synced
So, we have-- the bonds were issued.
-
Not Synced
This would be-- the $2 million would be
the face value.
-
Not Synced
And, 10% would be, what?
-
Not Synced
The stated rate, okay.
-
Not Synced
It's a 10-year bond.
-
Not Synced
It was issued at 104, so that means that
it was issued at a premium.
-
Not Synced
They're dated January 1st and they pay
interest twice per year, so how many
-
Not Synced
interest payment periods would
there be in this bond?
-
Not Synced
20, right, 'cause it's 10 years, they pay
interest twice per year.
-
Not Synced
So, because they are using the straight
line method, we would say there is
-
Not Synced
20 interest payment periods.
-
Not Synced
Okay, so on 1/1 when they issue the bonds,
how much cash would they receive?
-
Not Synced
Debit cash for the face value of
$2 million times 1.04.
-
Not Synced
And that would be a cash receipt
of $2,080,000.
-
Not Synced
And then, how much did they need to pay
back at the end?
-
Not Synced
They're going to credit bonds payable
for always the face value, right?
-
Not Synced
$2 million.
-
Not Synced
Alright, and we clearly said this was
issued at a premium, so we know
-
Not Synced
just by looking at this, to balance our
entry, we're going to have to credit
-
Not Synced
$80,000 credit to premium on bonds--
I'll just put BP-- bonds payable.
-
Not Synced
So, if you get confused ever on what is
the premium or is it a premium or a
-
Not Synced
discount, look at your journal entry and
see where it needs to go.
-
Not Synced
It needs to be a credit or a debit.
-
Not Synced
So, in this case, it needs to be a credit,
and we know that a premium on
-
Not Synced
bonds payable has a normal credit balance.
-
Not Synced
It's an adjunct account, meaning it comes
alongside the bond payable, it actually
-
Not Synced
increases the bond payable.
-
Not Synced
Where as, the discount on bonds payable
is a contra-account.
-
Not Synced
It is the opposite, so it's a debit.
-
Not Synced
Normal debit balance, and it's going to
subtract, or it's going to reduce that bond payable.
-
Not Synced
Okay, so, the premium is $80,000 and we
determined that we're going to divide that
-
Not Synced
by 20, that's the number of interest
payment periods.
-
Not Synced
And that would be $4,000 per
interest payment period.
-
Not Synced
Okay, so we're-- the question is asking
us to determine the interest expense
-
Not Synced
to reported on July 1 and December 31st.
-
Not Synced
So, let's just do it in the form of a
journal entry.
-
Not Synced
So on July 1 of '25, how much, um--
the question is, in this case, if we're
-
Not Synced
doing the straight line amortization,
we know that we're going to debit
-
Not Synced
interest expense, but with straight line
amortization, the interest expense is
-
Not Synced
the plug number, okay?
-
Not Synced
We are going to credit cash because
we're actually paying interest out,
-
Not Synced
and at what rate are we paying
interest out?
-
Not Synced
So, 10% for 6 out of 12 months, right?
-
Not Synced
So, it's at the stated rate.
-
Not Synced
So we say, the face value of $2 million
times the stated rate of 10 % times
-
Not Synced
the time, which is 6 out of 12 months.
-
Not Synced
Which would be the same thing as
saying 5%, right?
-
Not Synced
Um, so the cash being paid out, if we do
the math there, cash being paid out is $100,000.
-
Not Synced
And, we need to amortize that discount--
sorry, excuse me, premium.
-
Not Synced
And we determined that each interest
period we're going to amortize the
-
Not Synced
premium by $4,000.
-
Not Synced
Now, remember, the premium has a credit
balance, so to amortize it, I need to
-
Not Synced
debit it.
-
Not Synced
So, I'm going to debit premium on
bonds payable $4,000.
-
Not Synced
And then, the difference between what we
paid in cash and the premium that we
-
Not Synced
amortized is going to be our
interest expense.
-
Not Synced
So, $96,000.
-
Not Synced
So, you can also think of it as when you
issue bonds at a discount, the interest
-
Not Synced
expense-- sorry, premium-- the interest
expense per period is reduced.
-
Not Synced
Why? Because you received more
cash up front, so the amount that you're--
-
Not Synced
you're paying interest on a smaller face
value, but you received more cash,.
-
Not Synced
So, it's effectively reducing your
interest rate because you received
-
Not Synced
more cash up front.
-
Not Synced
And then on 12/31, the entry
would be similar.
-
Not Synced
We're going to debit interest expense.
-
Not Synced
We're going to debit premium on
bonds payable.
-
Not Synced
And that's going to be at that same
straight line rate, so that's $4,000.
-
Not Synced
And then, we're going to credit-- and
this one is payable on January 1st.
-
Not Synced
So, we're going to credit interest payable
$100,000.
-
Not Synced
And again, the interest expense
i going to remain the same at $96,000.
-
Not Synced
Alright, let's do part B then.
-
Not Synced
Um, Ron Kenoly Inc. issued $600,000
9%, 10-year bonds on June 30th of '25
-
Not Synced
for $562,500.
-
Not Synced
This price provides a yield of 10%.
-
Not Synced
Okay, so we have 2 different interest rates.
-
Not Synced
9% is, what?
-
Not Synced
9% is the stated rate,
and 10% is the market rate,
-
Not Synced
or the effective rate.
-
Not Synced
Interest is payable semiannually
on December 31st and June 30th.
-
Not Synced
If Kenoly uses the effective interest
method, determine the amount of
-
Not Synced
interest expense to record if financial
statements are issued on October 31st of '25.
-
Not Synced
So, this one's a little more-- it's got a
little more different things going on here.
-
Not Synced
So, not only are we using the effective
method, but we are also only calculating
-
Not Synced
interest expense through October 31st.
-
Not Synced
Okay, so first, again, let's go ahead and
record the issuance of the bonds.
-
Not Synced
They issued the bonds on 6/30,
and they're going to debit cash.
-
Not Synced
They said they received-- they told us
how much they received-- $562,500.
-
Not Synced
And, we're going to record a credit to
bonds payable always for the face value,
-
Not Synced
which is $600,000.
-
Not Synced
Which means they recorded those bonds
at a discount.
-
Not Synced
And so, we're going to debit discount on
bonds payable for $37,500.
-
Not Synced
That's going to balance our entry, right?
-
Not Synced
Alright, now, assuming that we are going
to issue financial statements on September 31st,
-
Not Synced
what do we need to do?
-
Not Synced
We need to make sure that those financial
statements are up to date with regard to
-
Not Synced
interest expense and interest payable.
-
Not Synced
How much do we owe at that time?
-
Not Synced
So, on 10/31/25, we're going to
