CoastalView Magazine issued $600,000 of 15-year, 5% callable bonds payable on July 31, 2018, at 94.
On July 31, 2021, CoastalView called the bonds at 101. Assume annual interest payments.
Requirements
1. Without making journal entries, compute the carrying amount of the bonds payable at July 31, 2021.
2. Assume all amortization has been recorded properly. Journalize the retirement of the bonds on July
31, 2021. No explanation is required.
SOLUTION
Requirement 1
Face value $600,000 – Carrying Value $564,000 ($600,000 × 0.94) = Discount $36,000

Ethical Issues 12-1
Raffie’s Kids, a nonprofit organization that provides aid to victims of domestic violence, low-income
families, and special-needs children, has a 30-year, 5% mortgage on the existing building. The mortgage
requires monthly payments of $3,000. Raffie’s bookkeeper is preparing financial statements for the
board and, in doing so, lists the mortgage balance of $287,000 under current liabilities because the board
hopes to be able to pay the mortgage off in full next year. Of the mortgage principal, $20,000 will be
paid next year if Raffie’s pays according to the mortgage agreement. The board members call you, their
trusted CPA, to advise them on how Raffie’s Kids should report the mortgage on its balance sheet. What
is the ethical issue? Provide and discuss the reason for your recommendation.

Fraud Case 12-1
Bill and Edna had been married two years and had just reached the point where they had enough savings to start
investing. Bill’s uncle Dave told them that he had recently inherited some very rare railroad bonds from
his grandmother’s estate. He wanted to help Bill and Edna get a start in the world and would sell them
50 of the bonds at $100 each. The bonds were dated 1873, beautifully engraved, showing a face value of
$1,000 each. Uncle Dave pointed out that “United States of America” was printed prominently at the top
and that the U.S. government had established a sinking fund to retire the old railroad bonds. A sinking
fund is a fund established for the purpose of repaying the debt. It allows the organization (the U.S.
government, in this example) to set aside money over time to retire the bonds. All Bill and Edna needed
to do was hold on to them until the government contacted them, and they would eventually get the full
$1,000 for each bond. Bill and Edna were overjoyed—until a year later when they saw the exact same
bonds for sale at a coin and stamp shop priced as “collectors’ items” for $9.95 each!
