Measuring Bonds Payable and Interest Expense
The issue price of the bond is determined by
the market, based on the time value of
money. The interest rate used to compute
the present value is the market interest rate.

Measuring Bonds Payable and Interest Expense
The stated rate is only used to compute the
periodic interest payments.

Computing Bond Prices
On January 1, 2003, Harrahs issues 100,000 in
bonds having a stated rate of 10 annually. The
bonds mature in 10 years and interest is paid
semiannually. The market rate is 12 annually.
Are Harrahs bonds issued at par, at a discount,
or at a premium?

Compute the issue price of Harrahs bonds.
11
Computing Bond Prices

• Compute the present value of the principal.

Use the present value of a single amount table to
find the appropriate factor.
12
Computing Bond Prices

• Compute the present value of the principal.

Use the market rate of 12 to determine present
value. Interest is paid semiannually, so the
rate is i 6 (12 2 interest periods per
year).
13
Computing Bond Prices

• Compute the present value of the principal.

Though the maturity period is 10 years, there are
2 interest periods per year. For the present
value computation, use n20 (10 years 2 periods
per year).
14
Computing Bond Prices

• Compute the present value of the principal.

15
Computing Bond Prices

• Compute the present value of the interest
  payments.

The semi-annual interest payment is computed
as 100,000 10 6/12 5,000
16
Computing Bond Prices

• Compute the present value of the interest
  payments.

Use the same i 6.0 and n20 used for the
present value of the principal, but use the
present value of an annuity table.
17
Computing Bond Prices

• Compute the present value of the interest
  payments.

Now, the issue price of the bonds can be computed.
18
Computing Bond Prices

• Compute the issue price of the bonds.

19
Computing Bond Prices

• Compute the issue price of the bonds.

The 88,530 is less than the face amount of
100,000, so the bonds are issued at a discount
of 11,470.
20
Recording BondsIssued at a Discount

• Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance
  of the bonds.

This is a contra-liability account and appears in
the liability section of the balance sheet.
21

The discount will be amortized over the 10-year
life of the bonds.
22
Bonds Issued at a DiscountFinancial Statement
Presentation
Two methods of amortization are commonly
used Straight-lineor Interest Method
23
Straight-Line Amortization of Bond Discount

• Identify the amount of the bond discount.
• Divide the bond discount by the number of
  interest periods.
• Include the discount amortization amount as part
  of the periodic interest expense entry.
• The discount will be reduced to zero by the
  maturity date.

24
Straight-Line Amortization of Bond Discount
Harrahs issued their bonds on Jan. 1, 2003.
The discount was 11,470. The bonds have a
10-year maturity and 5,000 interest is paid
semiannually.Compute the periodic discount
amortization using the straight-line method.

amortization using the straight-line method.
26
Straight-Line Amortization of Bond Discount
Prepare the journal entry to record the payment
of interest and the discount amortization for the
six months ending on June 30, 2003.

As the discount is amortized, the carrying amount
of the bonds increases.

Issuing Bonds at a Premium
On January 1, 2003, Harrahs issues 100,000 in
bonds having a stated rate of 10 annually. The
bonds mature in 10 years and interest is paid
semiannually. The market rate is 8 annually.
Are Harrahs bonds issued at par, at a discount,
or at a premium?

Issuing Bonds at a Premium

bonds having a stated rate of 10 annually. The
bonds mature in 10 years and interest is paid
semiannually. The market rate is 8 annually.
Lets compute the issue price of the bonds.
31
Issuing Bonds at a Premium

• Compute the present value of the principal.

Use the present value of a single amount table to
find the appropriate factor.
32
Issuing Bonds at a Premium

• Compute the present value of the principal.

Use the market rate of 8 to determine present
value. Interest is paid semiannually, so the
rate is i 4.0 (8 2 interest periods per
year).
33
Issuing Bonds at a Premium

• Compute the present value of the principal.

The maturity period is 10 years, there are 2
interest periods per year. For the present value
computation, use n20 (10 years 2 periods).
34
Issuing Bonds at a Premium

• Compute the present value of the principal.

Next, we compute the present value of the
interest payments.
35
Issuing Bonds at a Premium

• Compute the present value of the interest
  payments.

The semiannual interest payment is computed
as 100,000 10 6/12 5,000
36
Issuing Bonds at a Premium

• Compute the present value of the interest
  payments.

Use the same i4.0 and n20 that were used to
compute the present value of the principal. Now,
however, the factor comes from the present value
of an annuity table.
37
Issuing Bonds at a Premium

• Compute the present value of the interest
  payments.

Now, the issue price of the bonds can be computed.
38
Issuing Bonds at a Premium

• Compute the present value of the interest
  payments.

The 113,592 is greater than the face amount of
100,000, so the bonds are issued at a premium of
13,592.
39
Issuing Bonds at a Premium

• Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance
  of the bonds at a premium.

This is called an adjunct account and appears in
the liability section.

41
Effective-Interest Amortization of Bond Discounts
and Premiums
The effective-interest method computes interest
as
Bond Carrying Value Market Rate
Principal amount of the bonds less any
unamortized discount or plus any unamortized
premium.
42
Effective-Interest Amortization of Bond Discounts
and Premiums
The effective-interest method computes interest
as
Bond Carrying Value Market Rate
This is the same market rate used to determine
the present value of the bond.
43
Effective-Interest Method
Recall our first example of Harrahs. On Jan. 1,
2003, the company issues 100,000 in bonds having
a stated rate of 10 annually. The bonds mature
in 10 years and interest is paid semiannually.
The market rate is 12 annually.
44
Effective-Interest Method
Interest is paid semi-annually, so the market
rate is 12 2 6.
The cash paid to bond holders is 5,000 (100,000
5)

payment is
