      Interest Payable (1) 18,750
(To record 9%, $500,000 bonds at face value with accrued interest.)

Table (1)

  • Cash is an asset and it is increased. Therefore cash is debited by $518,750.
  • Bonds payable is a liability and it is increased. Therefore credit bonds payable account by $500,000.
  • Interest payable is a liability and it is increased. Therefore credit interest payable account by $18,750.

Calculate the accrued interest as of October 1:

Interest expense=(Face value×Face interest rate×Interest time period)=$500,000×9%×512=$18,750

Note: Interest time period = 5 months (May 1 to October 1)
