Working Notes:

Calculate interest paid on June 30 (first interest period).

Interest paid=(Face value of bonds×Face interest rate×Semiannual interest time period)=$250,000 × 6100 ×612=$7,500 (1)

Calculate interest expense on June 30 (first interest period).

Interest expense =(Ending book value× Effective interest rate×Semiannual interest time period)=$206,690 × 8100×612=$8,268 (2)

Calculate Discount amortized on June 30 (first interest period).

Discount amortized =Interest expense  Interest paid =$8,268(2) $7,500(1)=$768 (3)

Calculate ending book value on June 30 (first interest period).

Ending book value on June 30}={Ending book value on December 31 + Discount amortized}= $206,690 + $768(3)= $207,458 (4)

Calculate interest expense on December 31 (second interest period).

Interest expense =(Ending book value× Effective interest rate×Semiannual interest time period)=$207,458(4) × 8100×612=$8,298 (5)

Calculate Discount amortized on December 31 (second interest period).

Discount amortized =Interest expense  Interest paid =$8,298(5) $7,500(1)=$798 (6)

Calculate ending book value on December 31 (second interest period).

Ending book value on June 30}={Ending book value on December 31 + Discount amortized}= $207,458 + $798(6)= $208,256 (7)

January1Cash (A+)206,690 
  Discount on Bonds Payable (L-) (8)43,310 
  Bonds Payable (L+) 250,000
  (To record issue of bonds at Discount)  

Table (2)

  • Cash is an asset account and it is increased. Therefore debit cash account by $206,690
  • Discount on Bonds Payable is a contra-liability account and it has a normal debit balance therefore, debit Discount on Bonds Payable account by $43,310.
  • Bonds Payable is a liability and it is increased. Therefore credit bonds payable account by $250,000.

Working Notes:

Calculate discount on bonds payable.

Discount =Face value of bonds  Cash received=$250,000  $206,690=$43,310 (8)

       Discount on Bonds Payable (L+) 768
       Cash (A–) 7,500
  (To record the payment of interest and amortization of Discount)  

Table (3)

  • Bond Interest Expense is a component of stockholders’ equity and there is a increase in the interest expense account which decreased the stockholders’ equity. Therefore debit bond interest expense account by $8,268.
  • Discount on Bonds Payable is a contra-liability account and the amount is increased because the entry is reversed to amortize the discount. Therefore, credit Discount on Bonds Payable account by $768.
  • Cash is an asset and it is decreased. Therefore credit cash account by $7,500.
