d.) Prepare the amortization table for the $1 million bonds purchased by Dallas Inc.
e.) Prepare the journal entry for purchase of the bonds by Dallas Inc. at the issue price.
f.) Prepare the two journal entries for the receipt of interest revenue by Dallas Inc.
g.) Assuming that the market price of the bonds is 101 on December 31, 2017, prepare the necessary journal for Dallas Inc.
Explanation / Answer
Solution:
Part A – Bond Issue Price and Amortization Table
It is given in the question that the market yield rate is 4%. It means the Market Rate of Return on the bonds is 4%. So we need to calculate the Price of the bonds issued by using the market yield 4%.
Calculation of Bond Issue Price
Par Value = $100,000,000
Semi Annual Coupon Interest = Par Value 100,000,000 * Coupon Rate 4.5% * 1/2 Half Yearly = $2,250,000
Semiannual period to maturity (n) = 6 years x 2 = 12
Semi Annual Market Interest Rate (R) = 4%*1/2 = 2%
Present Value of Bonds (Price of the bonds issued) = Semi Annual Coupon Interest x PVIFA (R, n) + Par Value x PVIF (R, n)
= (2,250,000*10.57534) + (100,000,000*0.78849)
= $23,794,515 + 78,849,000
= $102,643,515
Bond Issue Price = $102,643,515
Note -- Calculation of Present Value Factor (Rounded to 5 decimal places)
PVIFA (R, n) = Present Value interest factor for ordinary annuity at R% for n periods = (1 – 1/(1+R)n) / R
PVIFA (2%, 12) = (1 – 1/(1+0.02)12) / 0.02 = 10.57534
PVIF (R, n) = Present Value interest factor for ‘n’ period at ‘R’% = 1/(1+R)n
PVIF (2%, 20) = 1/(1+0.02)12= 0.78849
