September 1 and March 1. The bonds were issued on March 1, at 97. Glover’s year-end is December 31.
(a) Were the bonds issued at a premium, a discount, or at par?
(b) Was the market rate of interest higher, lower, or the same as the contract rate of interest?
(c) If the company uses the straight-line method of amortization, what is the amount of interest expense Glover
Corporation will show for the year ended December 31?
(d) What is the carrying value of the bonds on December 31?
(a) The bonds were issued at a discount.
(b) The market rate of interest was higher than 7.5% since the bonds were issued at a
discount.
(c) $2,000,000 × 0.075 × 10/12 = $125,000 interest expense prior to amortization
$2,000,000 – $1,940,000 = $60,000 discount on bonds payable
$60,000/6 = $10,000 annual amortization of discount
$10,000 × 10/12 = $8,333 current year’s amortization of discount
$125,000 + $8,333 = $133,333
(d) $2,000,000 – $60,000 + $8,333 = $1,948,333
