2)Record the issuance of the bond on March 1, 2014. (Enter your answers in dollars and not in millions. If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Round time value factor to 4 decimal places.)

3)Compute the present value of the difference between the interest paid each six months over the life of the bond and the interest demanded by the market. Use the market rate of interest and the 10-year life of the bond in your present value computation. (Enter your answers in dollars and not in millions. Round time value factor to 4 decimal places.)

4)Record the payment of interest on September 1, 2014. (Enter your answers in dollars and not in millions. Round your answers to the nearest dollar amount. If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

5)Record the adjusting entry for accrued interest on December 31, 2014. (Enter your answers in dollars and not in millions. Round your answers to the nearest dollar amount. If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

6)Compute the present value of Catalin’s bonds, assuming that they had a 7-year life instead of a 10-year life. (Enter your answers in dollars and not in millions. Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount. Round time value factor to 4 decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

Record the issuance of the bond on March 1, 2014. (Enter your answers in dollars and not in millions. If no entry 1)is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Round time value factor to 4 decimal places.)

Semi Annual Interest = 40000000*5.8%*1/2

Semi Annual Interest = 1160000

Issue Price = Semi Annual Interest*PVIFA(rate,nper) + FV*PVIF(rate,nper)

Issue Price = 1160000*PVIFA(3%,20) + 40000000*PVIF(3%,20)

Issue Price =  1160000* 14.8775 + 40000000*0.5537

Issue Price = $ 39,405,900

Interest paid each six months =40000000*5.8%*1/2

Interest paid each six months = 1160000

Interest demanded by the market = 40000000*6%*1/2

Interest demanded by the market = 1200000

Difference between the interest paid each six months over the life of the bond and the interest demanded by the market = 1200000-1160000

Difference between the interest paid each six months over the life of the bond and the interest demanded by the market = $ 40000

Present value of the difference = Difference Amount*PVIFA(rate,nper)

Present value of the difference = 40000*PVIFA(3%,20)

Present value of the difference = 40000*14.8775

Present value of the difference = $ 595100

4)

Record the payment of interest on September 1, 2014

Interest Expenses = 39405900*3% = $ 1182177

Interest Payment in cash = 40000000*5.8%*1/2 = 1160000

Amortisation of Bonds Discount = 1182177-1160000 = 22177

5)Record the adjusting entry for accrued interest on December 31, 2014.

Book Value after 1st interest payment = 39405900 + 22177 = 39428077

Interest Expensesfor 1st 4 month = 39428077 *6%*4/12 = 788562

Interest Payable for 1st 4 month = 1160000*4/6 = 773,333

Bonds Discount to be amortised = 788562-773333 = 15,229

6)

Present value of Catalin’s bonds = Semi Annual Interest*PVIFA(rate,nper) + FV*PVIF(rate,nper)

Present value of Catalin’s bonds = 1160000*PVIFA(3%,14) + 40000000*PVIF(3%,14)

Present value of Catalin’s bonds = 1160000*11.2961 + 40000000*0.6611

Present value of Catalin’s bonds = 39,547,476
