Entity A is a toy manufacturer in Hong Kong which commenced its business more than thirty years.

On 1 January 2017, Entity A bought a $2,000,000 5.00% bond for $1,900,000.  It also incurred an issue cost of $50,000.  Entity A paid the bond price by a direct bank transfer on 1 January 2017.  The issue cost was settled on 31 January 2017.  Fixed interest is received in arrears.  The bond will be redeemed at a premium of $119,201 over its face value on 31 December 2019.  Entity A may sell the bond if the bond price is attractive or for any other reason determined by the board of directors.  The fair value option was not elected at the initial recognition.
