Assuming straight-line amortization, what is the total interest cost of the bonds? $600,000 $640,000 $560,000 $580,000 Larson Company issued $1,000,000 of 8%, 5-year bonds at 106.

The bonds had a face value of $600,000, pay interest annually orn December 31st, and have a call price of 102. Sparks uses the straight-line method of amortization. What is the carrying value of the bonds on January 1, 2018? O $600,000 $627,600 C $572,400 $631,050 (Ctrl)

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

Part 1 ---

Since the bonds are issued at 98 (or 98%) of face value. It is issued at discount since the issue price is less than face value.

Issue Price of the bonds = face value $2,000,000 x 98% = $1,960,000

Discount on Bonds Payable = 2,000,000 – 1,960,000 = $40,000

Annual Cash Interest Payment = Face Value x Coupon Rate = 2,000,000 x 6% = $120,000

Total Cash Interest Payment over the life of the bonds = Annual Interest Payment $120,000 x Period to Maturity 5 = $600,000

Total Interest Cost over the period of Bonds = Total Cash Interest Payment over the life of bonds + Amortization of Discount on Bonds Payable over the life of bond

= $600,000 + $40,000

= $640,000

Hence, the correct option is $640,000
