Respuesta :

Answer: 1. $218750 ; 2. $231, 250 ; 3. $11562.50

Explanation:

1. The bonds with a par value of $250,000 and implied selling price of 87 ½.

Cash proceed = 250,000 × 87.5%

= $218,750

2. Since it's semiannual interest payments, the total amount of bond interest expense that will be recognized over the life of these bonds will be:

[20 × (250,000 × 8% × 6/12)]+ $250,000 - $218,750

= $200,000 + $250,000 - $218,750

= $231, 250

3. The amount of bond interest expense recorded on the first interest payment date will be:

= Total bond interest expense/number of payments

= $231,250/20

= $11562.50

1. The issuer cash proceed should be $218,750.

2. The total amount of bond interest expense is $231,250.

3 The amount of bond interest expense is $11,562.50.

  • The calculation is as follows:

1. Cash proceed = 250,000 × 87.5%

= $218,750

2. The total amount of bond interest expense is  

= [20 × (250,000 × 8% × 6/12)]+ $250,000 - $218,750

= $200,000 + $250,000 - $218,750

= $231, 250

3. The amount of bond interest expense is  

= Total bond interest expense ÷ number of payments

= $231,250 ÷ 20

= $11,562.50

Therefore we can conclude that

1. The issuer cash proceed should be $218,750.

2. The total amount of bond interest expense is $231,250.

3 The amount of bond interest expense is $11,562.50.
