Use the following data set to answer the first four questions. On January 1, 2007 The Def Co. issued $100,000, five year bonds, carrying a coupon rate of ten percent (10%), interest payable annually on December 31 each year. The bonds were issued at an effective yield of fourteen percent (14%). Assume that the net proceeds from the issue of the bond differed from the face value of the bond by $10,000. The company uses straight-line amortization.
1. The journal entry on January 1, 2007 would be
a) Cash 110,000
B/P 100,000
Premium on B/P 10,000
b) Cash 90,000
Discount 0n B/P 10,000
B/P 100,000
c) Cash 90,000
Premium on B/P 10,000
B/P 100,000
d) Cash 110,000
B/P 100,000
Discount on B/P 10,000

Since the effective yield is higher, the bonds are issued at a discount. The cash received would be $100,000-10 = $90,000

2. The journal entry on December 31, 2007 would be
a) Bond interest expense 14,000
Cash 14,000
b) Bond interest expense 10,000
Cash 10,000
c) Bond interest expense 10,000
Premium on B/P 4,000
Cash 14,000
d) Bond interest expense 12,000
Cash 10,000
Discount on B/P 2,000

The amortization per year is 10,000/5 = 2,000.
The cash paid is 100,000X10%=10,000

3. . The journal entry on December 31, 2008 would be
a) Bond interest expense 14,000
2
Cash 14,000
b) Bond interest expense 10,000
Cash 10,000
c) Bond interest expense 10,000
Premium on B/P 4,000
Cash 14,000
d) Bond interest expense 12,000
Cash 10,000
Discount on B/P 2,000

Under straight line method, the journal entry remains the same for each interest payment

4. On 01/01/09 the company redeemed (i.e., bought back) twenty percent (20%) of the bonds outstanding for $19,000. This event would lead to the recognition of
a) a gain of $1,000
b) a loss of $1,000
c) a gain of $200
d) a loss of $200

The par value of the bond is 20,000. The unamortized premium on 1/1/09 is 6,000. Amount application to 20,000 of bonds us 6,000X20%=1,200. The carrying value of the bonds is 20,000-1,200 = 18,800. These are redeemed for $19,000. There is a loss of $200

II.
Is it better for a company to issue bonds at a discount or at a premium? Explain your answer.
