On July 1, 2015, Eagle Corp. issued 600 of its 10%, $1,000 bonds at 99 plus accrued interest. The bonds are dated April 1, 2015, and mature on April 1, 2021. Interest is payable semiannually on April 1 and October 1. What amount did Eagle receive from the bond issuance?
$579,000
$600,000
$609,000
$594,000
$609,000
Eagle received $609,000:
Sales price = 600 x $1,000 x 0.99 = $594,000
Accrued interest = 600 x $1,000 x 0.10 x (3/12) = 15,000
Total amount received $609,000
3/12 = April, May, & June.
Amortization of Premium or Discount
Any discount or premium should be amortized by using the ____ method, which results in a constant rate of interest. Other methods, such as the ___ ___method (a constant amount per period) may be used if the results are not ___different.

In 20X1, May Corp. acquired land by paying $75,000 down and signing a note with a maturity value of $1,000,000. On the note’s due date, December 31, 20X6, May owed $40,000 of accrued interest and $1,000,000 principal on the note. May was in financial difficulty and was unable to make any payments. May and the bank agreed to amend the note as follows:
- The $40,000 of interest due on December 31, 20X6, was forgiven.
- The principal of the note was reduced from $1,000,000 to $950,000 and the maturity date extended one year to December 31, 20X7.
- May would be required to make one interest payment totaling $30,000 on December 31, 20X7.
As a result of the troubled debt restructuring, May should report a gain, before taxes, in its 20X6 income statement of:
$60,000.
$40,000.
$90,000.
$50,000.
$60,000.
Gain on troubled debt restructuring for May Corp. in 20X6 is computed as follows:
Gain = Total due on debt - Required restructured payment
= Principal + Accrued interest - (Restructured principal + Required interest)
= ($1,000,000 + $40,000) - ($950,000 + $30,000)
= $1,040,000 - $980,000
= $60,000
In a modification of terms, if the total scheduled cash payments are less than the carrying value of the debt, the TDR is recorded by the debtor as follows:
- Reduce ___ value of debt to total scheduled cash payments.
- Recognize ___ (equal to the difference between the carrying value of the debt and the total scheduled cash payments).
- Recognize all ___payments—whether designated as principal or interest—as principal, reducing payable.

The bonds will pay semiannually, and thus will pay $40,000 twice each year, computed as follows:
- Face amount of $800,000 × 10% coupon × 6/12 (half-year) = $40,000
The yield of the bonds is 8% annually, but in half-year periods it is 4% a half-year. The present value of the bonds is thus the $40,000 multiplied by the present value of the ordinary annuity for 10 periods and 4%, plus the $800,000 par value of the bonds multiplied by the present value of $1 at 10 periods, 4%:
- Issue price = ($40,000 × 8.11090) + ($800,000 × 0.67556) = $324,436 + $540,448 = $864,884

The interest rate stated in the bond contract is known variously as the stated, coupon, contract, or __rate.

If a premium on a bonds payable transaction is not amortized, what are the effects on interest expense and total stockholders’ equity?
Interest expense: understated; Total stockholders’ equity: overstated

When a bond is issued for a premium, then the issuer receives more than the face amount of the debt upon issuance.
Thus, the issuer will pay back (the face amount) less than the amount received. The additional receipts lower the interest expense over the course of the repayment, since the overall net repaid amount is less.
As the bonds are repaid, the premium is amortized and lowers the interest expense taken over the term of the bond. If the amortization is not taken, then the interest expense is overstated, and the net income understated. (Thus, retained earnings and stockholder’s equity are also too low.)
When a bond is issued for a ___, then the issuer receives more than the face amount of the debt upon issuance.

On January 2, 20X1, Nast Co. issued 8% bonds with a face amount of $1,000,000 that mature on January 2, 20X7. The bonds were issued to yield 12%, resulting in a discount of $150,000. Nast incorrectly used the straight-line method instead of the effective interest method to amortize the discount. How is the carrying amount of the bonds affected by the error?
December 31, 20X1: Overstated; January 2, 20X7: No effect
December 31, 20X1: Overstated; January 2, 20X7: Understated
December 31, 20X1: Understated; January 2, 20X7: Overstated

A 15-year bond was issued in Year 1 at a discount. During Year 11, a 10-year bond was issued at face amount with the proceeds used to retire the 15-year bond at its face amount. The net effect of the Year 11 bond transactions was to increase long-term liabilities by the excess of the 10-year bond’s face amount over the 15-year bond’s:
carrying amount less the deferred loss on bond retirement.
face amount less the deferred loss on bond retirement.
face amount.
carrying amount.
carrying amount.
In order to solve this problem, give the 15-year bonds a face amount, say $100,000. If the bond was issued at a discount, then it was issued and was carried as a debt at a value below $100,000, say $90,000 (if the remaining unamortized discount was $10,000). If the 10-year bond was issued at its face amount, then it would be carried as a debt at its face amount.
If the 10-year bond was issued during Year 11, then the 15-year bond was still a long-term debt, and the new 10-year bond would also be a long-term debt. If the 10-year bond was issued at face and the proceeds paid off the face amount of the 15-year bond, then the 10-year bond would have needed to be at least the face amount of the 15-year bond (they would have the same face amount).
Thus, the new debt would be carried at $100,000, the old debt would be carried at below $100,000 (less the remaining unamortized discount), and the total long-term liabilities would be increased by the discount left, the amount the new 10-year debt carrying value is higher than the carrying value of the 15-year debt.
The effective interest rate for a loan restructured in a troubled debt restructuring is based on:
the rate specified in the restructuring agreement.
any of the answer choices listed, if applied consistently to all restructured loans.
the current rate at the time of the restructuring.
the original contractual rate.
the original contractual rate.
The effective interest rate is based on the original contractual rate, rather than on the current interest rate or the rate specified in the restructuring agreement.
Note: Under some circumstances, a debtor’s interest could be a new rate, and thus “the rate specified in the restructuring agreement” could be the correct answer, but the best answer choice is “the original contractual rate.”

Debt issuance costs related to a debt liability are presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the ___amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts.
If the coupon rate is greater than the market (or effective) rate, the bonds will sell at a ___(i.e., at an amount greater than the face amount of the bonds).

Long-term debt often has covenants in the debt contract. Debt covenants are standards for the financial strength and performance of the borrower. These covenants are intended to protect the interest of the:
stockholders.
employees.
lending institution.
company’s management.
lending institution.
Long-term debt often has covenants in the debt contract. Debt covenants are standards for the financial strength and performance of the borrower. These covenants are intended to protect the interest of the lending institution. Common ratios used to define debt covenants are the current ratio and the interest coverage ratio. Other covenants could include such requirements as maintaining a specific debt/equity ratio, having enough cash flow to cover interest expense, or acquiring an unmodified audit opinion.
A covenant violation could result in the bonds becoming callable—giving the lending institution the right to receive the maturity value of the bonds prematurely or the right to convert the debt. Such debt would no longer be classified as long term, but would be considered a short-term liability.
