Summary
Bonds are a way for companies to borrow money. This document shows how to record bond transactions using the effective interest method. Students see how to make journal entries for issuing bonds and for making interest payments.
Issuing the bonds
Bonds are issued at a price based on the market rate. The price is different from the bonds' par value. A premium is recorded when the selling price is higher than the par value.
First interest payment
The first interest payment uses the effective interest method. Interest expense is calculated based on the market rate. The difference between the interest expense and the cash payment reduces the premium.
Second interest payment
The second interest payment follows the same method. The interest expense is recalculated based on the new carrying amount of the bonds. The premium is further reduced.
Subsequent payments
The same method is used for all subsequent payments. The interest expense and the premium reduction change each time. The process continues for all 30 semiannual payments.
