Step by step solution

01

Definition of interest rate

A interest rate is the rate at which company pays the sum of money to the bondholder for using the money provided by them.

02

Calculation of the present value of bonds

In this, we take n= 20 and i=7%

PresentsValue=FutureValue×PVfactorofi=8%,n=20=$86,000×0.21455=$18,452

Present value of interest:

PresentsValue=Amountofcashflow×AnnuityPVfactor=$6,020×9.8181=$59,105

Present Value of bonds

PresentsValue=PresentValueofprincipal+PresentValurofinterest=$18,452+$59,105=$77,557

Requirements

1. How much cash did the company receive upon issuance of the bonds payable? (Round to the nearest dollar.)

2. Prepare an amortization table for the bond using the effective-interest method, through the first two interest payments. (Round to the nearest dollar.)

3. Journalize the issuance of the bonds on January 1, 2018, and the first second payments of the semiannual interest amount and amortization of the bonds on June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2018. Explanations are not required.
