On January 1, 2018,when the market interest rate is 12%, the company issues $300,000 of the bonds. Thebonds pay interest semiannually.

Requirements

1. How much cash did the company receive upon issuance of the bonds payable?(Round to the nearest dollar.)

2. Prepare an amortization table for the bond using the effective-interest method,through the first two interest payments (Round to the nearest dollar.)

3. Journalize the issuance of the bonds on January 1, 2018, and the first and secondpayments of the semiannual interest amount and amortization of the bonds onJune 30, 2018, and December 31, 2018. Explanations are not required.

Step by step solution

01

Definition of bonds

The bonds are a long-term liability that the company issues to fulfill the need for a large amount of money.

02

Calculation of cash received upon the issuance

To calculate the cash acquired upon the issuance of the bonds, all the present value of the principal and the current value of the interest are calculated.

$\begin{array}{c}\mathrm{Present}  \mathrm{Value}  \mathrm{of}  \mathrm{principal}=\mathrm{ }\mathrm{Face}  \mathrm{Value}×\mathrm{ }\mathrm{PVIF}(6\mathrm{\%},20)\mathrm{ }\\ =\mathrm{\$}300,000×\mathrm{ }0.31180\\ =\mathrm{\$}93,540\\ \\ \mathrm{Present} â\P ĉ\mathrm{Value} â\P ĉ\mathrm{of} â\P ĉ\mathrm{Interest}= â\P ĉ\mathrm{Interest} â\P ĉ\mathrm{Amount} ×â\P ĉ\mathrm{PVAF}(6\%,20) \\ =\$10,500× 11.46992\\ =\$120,434.16\\ \\ \mathrm{Cash}  \mathrm{Received}\mathrm{ }=\mathrm{ }\mathrm{Present}  \mathrm{Value}  \mathrm{of}  \mathrm{Interest}+\mathrm{ }\mathrm{Present}  \mathrm{Value}  \mathrm{of}  \mathrm{Principal}\\ =\mathrm{ }\mathrm{\$}120,434.16+\mathrm{ }\mathrm{\$}93,540\\ =\mathrm{\$}213,974\end{array}$

Hence, the cash received on the issue of the bonds is $213,974.
