Answer:
I prepared an excel spreadsheet for questions 1 and 2 because there is not enough room here.
3) June 30, 2023, fifth coupon payment (under effective interest rate)
Dr Interest expense 7,367
Cr Cash 6,750
Cr Discount on bonds payable 617
June 30, 2023, fifth coupon payment (under straight-line method)
Dr Interest expense 7,356
Cr Cash 6,750
Cr Discount on bonds payable 606
5) we can use the approximate yield to maturity formula in order to determine the market value of a $1,000 bond on June 30, 3023:
0.1 = {45 + [(1,000 - MV)/3]} / [(1,000 + MV)/2]
0.1 x [(1,000 + MV)/2] = 45 + 333.33 - 0.333MV
50 + 0.05MV = 378.33 - 0.333MV
0.383MV = 328.33
MV = 328.33 / 0.383 = $857.26
if the investor is willing to purchase $15,000 of the bonds, then the purchase price = 15 x $857.26 = $12,858.90 ≈ $12,858.90
Explanation:
the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds:
Dr Cash 145,153
Dr Discount on bonds payable 4,847
Cr Bonds payable 150,000
