Assuming Residence uses the effective interest rate method, the book value of the bond liability on December 31, Year 2 is (round any necessary computations to the nearest whole dollar)
Explanation / Answer
Face Value = $50,000
Issue Price = $50,000 * 96 % = $48,000
Cash interest paid per annum = $50,000 * 7 % = $3,500
Interest Expense for Year 1 = $48,000 * 7.389% = $3,547
Discount Amortize for Year 1 = Interest Expense for Year 1 - Cash interest paid = $3,547 - $3,500 = $47
Book value of the bond liability on December 31, Year 1 = Issue Price + Discount Amortize for Year 1
= $48,000 + $47 = $48,047
Interest Expense for Year 2 = $48,047 * 7.389% = $3,550
Discount Amortize for Year 2 = $3,550 - $3,500 = $50
Book value of the bond liability on December 31, Year 2
= Book value of the bond liability on December 31, Year 1 + Discount Amortize for Year 2
= $48,047 + $50 = $48,097
