ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1. (a) Long-term liabilities are obligations that are expected to be paid after one year. Examples
include bonds, long-term notes, and lease obligations.
(b) Bonds are a form of interest-bearing notes payable used by corporations, universities, and
governmental agencies.
2. (a) Secured bonds have specific assets of the issuer pledged as collateral. In contrast, unse-
cured bonds are issued against the general credit of the borrower. These bonds are called
debenture bonds.
4. The two major obligations incurred by a company when bonds are issued are the interest
payments due on a periodic basis and the principal which must be paid at maturity.
5. Less than. Investors are required to pay more than the face value; therefore, the market interest
rate is less than the contractual rate.
8. Debits: Bonds Payable (for the face value) and Premium on Bonds Payable (for the
unamortized balance).
Credits: Cash (for 97% of the face value) and Gain on Bond Redemption (for the difference
between the cash paid and the bonds’ carrying value).
9. A convertible bond permits bondholders to convert it into common stock at the option of the
bondholders.
Questions Chapter 15 (Continued)
11. The nature and the amount of each long-term liability should be presented in the balance sheet
or in schedules in the accompanying notes to the statements. The notes should also indicate the
interest rates, maturity dates, conversion privileges, and assets pledged as collateral.
12. (a) The major advantages are:
(1) Stockholder control is not affected—bondholders do not have voting rights, so current
stockholders retain full control of the company.
13. (a) A lease agreement is a contract in which the lessor gives the lessee the right to use an
asset for a specified period in return for one or more periodic rental payments. The lessor is
the owner of the property and the lessee is the renter or tenant.
(b) The two most common types of leases are operating leases and capital leases.
14. This lease would be reported as an operating lease. In an operating lease, each payment is debited
to Rent Expense. Neither a leased asset nor a lease liability is capitalized.
15. In a capital lease agreement, the lessee records the present value of the lease payments as an
asset and a liability. Therefore, Benedict Company would debit Leased Asset—Equipment for
$186,300 and credit Lease Liability for the same amount.
16. Apple did not redeem any of its debt during the 2013 fiscal year.
*17. The straight-line method results in the same amortized amount being assigned to Interest
Expense each interest period. This amount is determined by dividing the total bond discount or
premium by the number of interest periods the bonds will be outstanding.
*18. $28,000. Interest expense is the interest to be paid in cash less the premium amortization for the
year. Cash to be paid equals 8% X $400,000 or $32,000. Total premium equals 5% of $400,000
*19. Kelli is probably indicating that since the borrower has the use of the bond proceeds over the
term of the bonds, the borrowing rate in each period should be the same. The effective-interest
method results in a varying amount of interest expense but a constant rate of interest on the
Questions Chapter 15 (Continued)
*20. Decrease. Under the effective-interest method the interest charge per period is determined by
multiplying the carrying value of the bonds by the effective-interest rate. When bonds are issued
