CHAPTER LERANING OBJECTIVES
1. Explain how to account for current liabilities. A current liability is a debt that a company
can reasonably expect to pay (a) from existing current assets or through the creation of other
current liabilities, and (b) within one year or the operating cycle, whichever is longer. The
major types of current liabilities are notes payable, accounts payable, sales taxes payable,
unearned revenues, and accrued liabilities such as taxes, salaries and wages, and interest
payable.
When a promissory note is interest–bearing, the amount of assets received upon the
issuance of the note is generally equal to the face value of the note, and interest expense is
accrued over the life of the note. At maturity, the amount paid is equal to the face value of
the note plus accrued interest.
Companies record sales taxes payable at the time the related sales occur. The company
serves as a collection agent for the taxing authority. Sales taxes are not an expense to the
company. Companies hold employee withholding taxes, and credit them to appropriate
liability accounts, until they remit these taxes to the governmental taxing authorities.
Unearned revenues are initially recorded in an unearned revenue account. As the company
recognizes revenue, a transfer from unearned revenue to revenue occurs. Companies report
the current maturities of long-term debt as a current liability in the balance sheet.
2. Describe the major characteristics of bonds. The following different types of bonds may
be issued: secured and unsecured bonds, and convertible and callable bonds.
3. Explain how to account for bond transactions. When companies issue bonds, they debit
Cash for the cash proceeds and credit Bonds Payable for the face value of the bonds. In
addition, they use the accounts Premium on Bonds Payable and Discount on Bonds Payable
to show the bond premium and bond discount, respectively. Bond discount and bond
premium are amortized over the life of the bond, which increases or decreases interest
expense, respectively.
When companies redeem bonds at maturity, they credit Cash and debit Bonds Payable for
the face value of the bonds. When companies redeem bonds before maturity, they (a)
eliminate the carrying value of the bonds at the redemption date, (b) record the cash paid,

4. Discuss how liabilities are reported and analyzed. Current liabilities appear first on the
balance sheet, followed by long-term liabilities. Companies should report the nature and
amount of each liability in the balance sheet or in schedules in the notes accompanying the
statements. They report inflows and outflows of cash related to the principal portion of long-
term debt in the financing section of the statement of cash flows.
The liquidity of a company may be analyzed by computing the current ratio. The long-run
solvency of a company may be analyzed by computing the debt to assets ratio and the times
interest earned ratio. Other factors to consider are contingent liabilities and lease obligations.
*5. Apply the straight-line method of amortizing bond discount and bond premium. The
straight-line method of amortization results in a constant amount of amortization and interest
expense per period.
*6. Apply the effective-interest method of amortizing bond discount and bond premium.
The effective-interest method results in varying amounts of amortization and interest
expense per period but a constant percentage rate of interest. When the difference between
the straight-line and effective-interest method is material, GAAP requires use of the effective-
interest method.
*7. Describe the accounting for long-term notes payable. Each payment consists of (1)
interest on the unpaid balance of the loan, and (2) a reduction of loan principal. The interest
decreases each period, while the portion applied to the loan principal increases each period.
