E14-15 (L01,2) (Entries for Redemption and Issuance of Bonds) Jason Day Company had bonds outstanding with a maturity value of \(300,000. On April 30, 2017, when these bonds had an unamortized discount of \)10,000, they were called in at 104. To pay for these bonds, Day had issued other bonds a month earlier bearing a lower interest rate. The newly issued bonds had a life of 10 years. The new bonds were issued at 103 (face value $300,000).

Instructions

Ignoring interest, compute the gain or loss, and record this refunding transaction. (AICPA adapted)

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.

Determine Proper Amounts in Account Balances) Presented below are two independent situations.

(a) George Gershwin Co. sold \(2,000,000 of 10%, 10-year bonds at 104 on January 1, 2017. The bonds were dated January 1, 2017, and pay interest on July 1 and January 1. If Gershwin uses the straight-line method to amortize bond premium or discount, determine the amount of interest expense to be reported on July 1, 2017, and December 31, 2017.

(b) Ron Kenoly Inc. issued \)600,000 of 9%, 10-year bonds on June 30, 2017, for $562,500. This price provided a yield of 10% on the bonds. Interest is payable semiannually on December 31 and June 30. If Kenoly uses the effective interest method, determine the amount of interest expense to record if financial statements are issued on October 31, 2017.
