Explanation / Answer

Current Market Price of the bond

Face Value of the bond = $1000000

Coupon Rate = 4% half yearly = 1000000 x 4% = $40000

Market rate of interest = 10 % p.a = 5% half yearly

Current Market Price

= $40000 x PVIFA (4%, 10) + $1000000 x PVIF (4%, 10)

= $40000 x 7.722 + $1000000 x 0.614

= $922880

The bond is a Discount Bond as the current market price is less than the face value of the bond.

Discount = $1000000 - $922880 = $77120

Journal Entry for the issuance of the bond:

Cash Dr. $922880

Discount on bond Payable Dr. $77120

Bond Payable Cr. $1000000

(being the bond of face value $1000000 issued at a discounted price of $922880)

Journal Entry for first interest payment including straight line amortization:

Interest Expense Dr. $47712

Discount on Bond Payable Cr. $7712

Cash Cr. $40000

(Being the issuance of the first half yearly interest made by amortizing $7712 (77120/10) of the discount payable on bond)

Journal Entry for Reedeming the bonds after 2 years:

After 2 years the discount on bonds payable will be amortized = 4 x 7712 = $30848

The amount that will be left in the Discount on Bonds Payable yet to be amortized = 77120 - 30848 = $46272

The Journal entry:

Bonds Payable Dr. $1000000

Loss on Retirement of bonds Dr. $ 46272

Discount on Bonds payable $ 46272

Cash $ 1000000

(Being the bonds redeemed at the end of 2 years)
