(L01) Assume the bonds in BE14-2 were issued at 98. Prepare the journal entries for (a) January 1, (b) July 1, and (c) December 31. Assume The Colson Company records straight-line amortization semiannually.

(Entries for Redemption and Issuance of Bonds) Matt Perry, Inc. had outstanding \(6,000,000 of 11% bonds (interest payable July 31 and January 31) due in 10 years. On July 1, it issued \)9,000,000 of 10%, 15-year bonds (interest payable July 1 and January 1) at 98. A portion of the proceeds was used to call the 11% bonds (with unamortized discount of $120,000) at 102 on August 1.

Instructions

Prepare the journal entries necessary to record issue of the new bonds and refunding of the bonds.

(Amortization Schedule—Straight-Line) Devon Harris Company sells 10% bonds having a maturity value of \(2,000,000 for \)1,855,816. The bonds are dated January 1, 2017, and mature January 1, 2022. Interest is payable annually on January 1.

Instructions

Set up a schedule of interest expense and discount amortization under the straight-line method. (Round answers to the nearest cent.)

Presented below are two independent situations.

(a) On January 1, 2017, Robin Wright Inc. purchased land that had an assessed value of \(350,000 at the time of purchase. A \)550,000, zero-interest-bearing note due January 1, 2020, was given in exchange. There was no established exchange price for the land, nor a ready fair value for the note. The interest rate charged on a note of this type is 12%. Determine at what amount the land should be recorded at January 1, 2017, and the interest expense to be reported in 2017 related to this transaction.

(b) On January 1, 2017, Field Furniture Co. borrowed $5,000,000 (face value) from Gary Sinise Co., a major customer, through a zero-interest-bearing note due in 4 years. Because the note was zero-interest-bearing, Field Furniture agreed to sell furniture to this customer at lower than market price. A 10% rate of interest is normally charged on this type of loan. Prepare the journal entry to record this transaction and determine the amount of interest expense to report for 2017.

On January 1, 2017, Ellen Carter Company makes the two following acquisitions.

  1. Purchases land having a fair value of \(200,000 by issuing a 5-year, zero-interest-bearing promissory note in the face amount of \)337,012.
  2. Purchases equipment by issuing a 6%, 8-year promissory note having a maturity value of $250,000 (interest payable annually).

The company has to pay 11% interest for funds from its bank

Instructions

(Round answers to the nearest cent.)

  1. Record the two journal entries that should be recorded by Ellen Carter Company for the two purchases on January 1, 2017.
