Table (3)

Working notes:

Calculate discount on bonds payable.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Premium on bonds payable = }\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Cash received}\\ -\text{Face value }\end{array}\right)\\ =\$62,817,040-\$55,000,000\\ =\$7,817,040\end{array}$ (1)

Calculate premium on bonds payable semiannually.

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Premium on bonds payable }\\ \text{semiannually}\end{array})\text{=}\frac{\text{Premium}\text{on}\text{bonds}\text{payable}}{\text{Number}\text{of}\text{semiannual}}\\ \text{=}\frac{\$7,817,040}{20}\\ \text{=}\text{\$390,852 }\end{array}$ (2)

Calculate the amount of cash interest.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{ Cash interest = }\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Face value}\times \text{Face interest rate}\times \\ \text{Interest}\text{time}\text{period}\end{array}\right)\\ =\$55,000,000\times 9\%\times \frac{6}{12}\\ =\$2,475,000\end{array}$ (3)

Calculate the interest expense on the bond.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Interest expense = Cash interest }-\text{ Premium on bonds payable}\\ =\$2,475,000-\$390,852\\ =\$2,084,148\end{array}$ (4)

Calculate cash paid to redeem the bonds.

$\begin{array}{c}\text{ Cash paid to redeem the bonds = Face value}\times 1.03\\ \text{= \$55,000,000}\times 1.03\\ \text{=}\text{\$56,650,000}\end{array}$ (5)

Compute gain on the redemption of the bonds payable.

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Gain on redemption}\\ \text{ of bonds payable}\end{array}\}=\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Bonds payable}\\ +\text{Premium}\text{on}\text{bonds}\text{payable}\end{array}\right)–\text{Cash paid to redeem the bonds}\\ =\$55,000,000+\$6,253,632–\$56,650,000\\ =\$4,603,632\end{array}$ (6)
