Chapter 9 covers liabilities, including long-term notes and bonds. Notes and bonds are reported on the financials at their face amount less any unamortized discount (or plus any unamortized premium). Review the 10-K of Starbucks (including the debt footnote) and answer the following for the most recent year ended 2014:
What is the face value of Starbucks long-term debt?
What amount of long-debt is reported on the balance sheet?
What does the difference between these two amounts tell you?
What is the face value of Starbucks long-term debt?
Total face value is 3602.2 on October 2,2016
What amount of long-debt is reported on the balance sheet?
Total long-debt in the balance sheet is 3202.2 on October 2,2016
What does the difference between these two amounts tell you?
Explanation / Answer
The difference shows that the long term debt is initially issued at discount resulting in difference between face value and carrying value
When the yield on bond (market rate on bond) is greater the coupon rate( interest rate) offered on debt ,the bond trades at discount
Carrying value of bond =Face value -Discount on long term debt
3202.2 = 3602.2- discount
Discount on bond = 3602.2-3202.2 =$ 400
so there is a discount of $ 400 on long term debt.
