Question

Please do a-c journal entires. Thank you very much. I know this same question has been posted before but the journal entries are incorrect. Below the problem I have attatched a list of the available accounts to use.

Celine Dion Company uses the effective-interest method of amortization for bond premium or discount. Assume an effective yield of 9.7705%. Prepare the journal entries to record the following. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 38,548. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts. Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.) (a) The issuance of the bonds. (b) The payment of interest and related amortization on July 1, 2014.

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Face Value of Bonds = $600,000

Sale Proceeds from Bonds issued = $600,000 x 102/100 = $612,000

Premium on Bonds Payable = Issue Price – Par Value = $612,000 - $600,000 = $12,000

Premium on Bonds Payable $12,000 is to be amortized during the life of the bonds.

No of times interest to be paid during the life of bond = 20 years x 2 = 40 times

The amount of cash interest on Bonds Payable to be paid to bond holders each time July 1 and January 1 = $600,000 x 10% x ½ = $30,000

Calculation of Interest Expenses

As per effective interest method, interest expenses are recorded on the basis of beginning book value in Bonds Payable Account.

Interest Expenses on July 1, 2014 = Bond Payable A/c Book Value on July 1, 2014 x effective interest rate x ½ = $612,000 x 9.7705% x ½ = $29,898

Amortization of Bond Premium = Cash Interest – Interest Expenses = $30,000 - $29,898 = $102

Interest Expenses on Dec 31, 2014 = Bond Payable A/c Book Value on Dec 31, 2014 x effective interest rate x ½ = ($612,000 - $102) x 9.7705% x ½ = $29,893

Amortization of Bond Premium = Cash Interest – Interest Expenses = $30,000 - $29,893 = $107
