Example 14A.1

From Example 14.8 (Assume we use Straight Line Method)
Example 14A.1: On January 1,2016, the Ruffin Corporation issued $40,000 par value, 4%, four-year bonds that mature on December 31, 2019. Ruffin will pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31. On the date Ruffin issued the bonds, the market rate of interest was 6%. The company's fiscal year ends on December 31. What is the issue price of this bond? Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance. Prepare an amortization schedule over the four-year period using the STRAIGHT LINE method. Prepare the journal entries to record the inter¬est entries for the first year. Prepare the journal entry to record the payment of the bonds at maturity. Prepare the t-accounts for the bond payable and bond discount accounts for the life of the bond.
Since stated interest rate 4% < market interest rate 6%, we can predict and prove that these bonds will be issued at a discount (< Face Value)
When we issue the Bonds payable, we promise to pay:
(1) Cash Interest every semiannual year = Face Value of the Bonds Payable x Semiannual stated rate
(2) Principal of $40,000 at the end of the 4th year
Every period we will pay cash interest

Face Value of the Bonds Payable
The Bonds payable is issued at a discount
Present Value of the Bonds Payable = Face Value - Present Value of the Bonds Payable

Example 14A.2

From Example 14.7 (Assume we use the Straight Line Method)
Example 14A.2: On January 1,2016, the Ruffin Corporation issued $40,000 par value, 4%,four-year bonds that mature on December 31, 2019. Ruffin will pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The company's fiscal year ends on December 31. What is the issue price of this bond assuming that the market rate of interest is 2%? What is the journal entry to record the issuance? Prepare an amortization table using the STRAGHT LINE method. What journal entries are required to record interest expense for the first year? Prepare the journal entry to record the maturity of the bonds. Prepare the t-accounts for the bond payable and bond premium accounts for the life of the bond.
Since stated interest rate 4% > market interest rate 2%, we can predict and prove that these bonds will be issued at a premium (> Face Value)
When we issue the Bonds payable, we promise to pay:
(1) Cash Interest every semiannual year = Face Value of the Bonds Payable x Semiannual stated rate
(2) Principal of $40,000 at the end of the 4th year
