The market rate at the date of issuance is 10%. The market rate at the date of issuance is 14% BRIEF EXPLANATION REQUIRED FOR THE TWO JOURNAL ENTRIES Solution Assumption \"Bond is repayable at par i.e $ 90,000 1. When Market Interest Rate is 10% (a) Issue Price of the Bond:- Par Value of the Bond = $90,000 Maturity= 5 Years Interest Rate is 12% payable semi annualy, so interest amount = 12% of $90,000 *6/12 =$ 5,400 Bond\'s Issue Price = Present Vlaue = PVAF (5%,10) * $5,400 + PVIF (5%,10) * $ 90,000 = 7.7217 * $ 5400 + 0.6139* $ 90,000 = $ 41,697 + $ 55,251 =$ 96,948 (b) Journal Entry:- On January 1 2016 at the time of issuance Bank/ Cash......................................Debit $96,948 12% Bonds......................................Credit $96,948 Also the Interest Expense for 1st Year would be 10% of $96,948 = $ 9,695 2. When Market Interest Rate is 14% (a) Issue Price of the Bond:- Par Value of the Bond = $90,000 Maturity= 5 Years Interest Rate is 12% payable semi annualy, so interest amount = 12% of $90,000 *6/12 =$ 5,400 Bond\'s Issue Price = Present Value =PVAF (7%,10) * $5,400 + PVIF (7%,10) * $ 90,000 = 7.0236 * $ 5400 + 0.5083 * $ 90,000 = $ 37,927 + $ 45,747 =$ 83,674 (b) Journal Entry:- On January 1 2016 at the time of issuance Bank/ Cash......................................Debit $ 83,674 12% Bonds......................................Credit $ 83,674 Also the Interest Expense for 1st Year would be 14% of $83,674 = $ 11,714.
