Explanation / Answer

Part 1a)

The journal entry would involve receipt of cash (including the amount of premium) indicated by a debit to cash account. The amount of par value will be credited to bonds payable account and the difference (premium) will be credited to premium on bonds payable. The journal entry is given below:

__________

Part 1b)

The accrual of interest with straight line method would involve a debit to premium on bonds payable (1/5th of the premium amount), a credit to the interest payable (for the amount of accrued interest) and a debit to interest expense account for the difference between the interest payable and amortized premium. The journal entry is given below:

__________

Part 1c)

The amount of discount on bonds would be amortized by adjusting $2,000 per year. The amount that must have been received at the time of issuance would be $188,000 (200,000*94%). The balance of $12,000 (200,000 - 188,000) is the amount of discount amortized over 6 years. The amount of interest due on bonds would be indicated by a credit entry (200,000*10%) in the interest payable account. The total value of discount on bonds payable and interest payable would be debited to interest expense account. The journal entry is given below:

__________

Part 1d)

The redemption would be indicated by a debit to the bonds payable at par value and a credit to cash account equal to the amount of cash received. The difference between the two will be debited to premium on bonds payable account.
