Explanation / Answer

(pv1, i, n) = present value of $1 discounted at i%, n periods from present
(pva, i, n) = present value of an annuity of $1 discounted at i%, for n periods

The bonds are for 10 years, but interest is payable semi-annually, so there are 20 interest periods.

1. Market rate at the date of issuance is 10%.
(a) bonds%u2019 issue price on January 1, 2011
The formula is $37,000 (pv1, 5%, 20) + 6%($37,000 )(pva, 5%, 20)
= $31,000 (0.37689) + 6%($37,000 )(12.46221)
= $11,683.59 + $27,666.11
= $39,349.7

(b) journal entry to record their issuance
Dr Cash $39,349.7
Cr Bond premium $8,349.7
Cr Bonds payable $31,000.00

2. Market rate at the date of issuance is 12%.
(a) bonds%u2019 issue price on January 1, 2011
Since the market rate is the coupon rate, the bonds will be issued at face value, $31,000.

(b) journal entry to record their issuance
Dr Cash $31,000
Cr Bonds payable $31,000

3. Market rate at the date of issuance is 14%.
(a) bonds%u2019 issue price on January 1, 2011
The formula is $31,000 (pv1, 7%, 20) + 6%($31,000 )(pva, 7%, 20)
= $31,000 (0.25842) + 6%($31,000 )(10.59401)
= $8,011.02 + $19,704.8586
= $27,715.8786

(b) journal entry to record their issuance
Dr Cash $27,715.8786
Dr Bond discount $3,284.1214
Cr Bonds payable $31,000.00
