CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES
1. Explain a current liability, and identify the major types of current liabilities. A current
liability is a debt that a company expects to pay 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.
2. Describe the accounting for notes 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. Interest expense accrues over the life of the note. At maturity, the amount
paid equals the face value of the note plus accrued interest.
3. Explain the accounting for other current liabilities. 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 initially
record unearned revenues in an Unearned Revenue account. As a 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.

4. Explain why bonds are issued, and identify the types of bonds. Companies may sell
bonds to investors to raise long-term capital. Bonds offer the following advantages over
common stock: (a) stockholder control is not affected, (b) tax savings result, (c) earnings per
share of common stock may be higher. The following types of bonds may be issued: secured
and unsecured, and convertible and callable bonds.
5. Prepare the entries for the issuance of bonds and interest expense. When companies
issue bonds, they debit Cash for the cash proceeds and credit Bonds Payable for the face
value of the bonds. The account Premium on Bonds Payable shows a bond premium.
Discount on Bonds Payable shows a bond discount.
6. Describe the entries when bonds are redeemed or converted. When bondholders
redeem bonds at maturity, the issuing company credits Cash and debits Bonds Payable for
the face value of the bonds. When bonds are redeemed before maturity, the issuing
company (a) eliminates the carrying value of the bonds at the redemption date, (b) records
the cash paid, and (c) recognizes the gain or loss on redemption. When bonds are converted
to common stock, the issuing company transfers the carrying (or book) value of the bonds to
appropriate paid-in capital accounts. No gain or loss is recognized.
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.
8. Identify the methods for the presentation and analysis of long-term liabilities.
Companies should report the nature and amount of each long-term debt in the balance sheet
or in the notes accompanying the financial statements. Stockholders and long-term creditors
are interested in a company’s long-run solvency. Debt to assets and times interest earned
are two ratios that provide information about debt-paying ability and long-run solvency.
a9. Compute the market price of a bond. Time value of money concepts are useful for pricing
bonds. The present value (or market price) of a bond is a function of three variables: (1) the
payment amounts, (2) the length of time until the amounts are paid, and (3) the interest rate.
a10. 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 the use of the
effective-interest method.
a11. 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.

33. If a corporation issued bonds at an amount less than face value, it indicates that the
corporation has a weak credit rating.
34. A corporation that issues bonds at a discount will recognize interest expense at a rate

36. If bonds are issued at a premium, the carrying value of the bonds will be greater than the
face value of the bonds for all periods prior to the bond maturity date.

S-A E 326 (Ethics)
Hannah Company maintains two separate accounts payable computer systems. One is known to
all the users, and is used to process payments to vendors. Employees enter the vendor code, or
the name and address of new vendors, the amount, the account, and so on. The other system is
a secret one. It is used to cross-check the vendors against an approved vendor list. If a vendor is
not listed as approved, the payment process is halted. Internal audit employees seek to verify the
existence of a bona fide claim by the vendor. All inquiries are made at the top management level,
and very discreetly. No one but top management, the internal audit staff, and the Board of
Directors of the company is even aware of the second system.
Required:
Is it ethical for a company to have a secret system like the one described? Explain.
