Step by step solution

Journal entries when bonds are issued at a discount

Date	Particulars	Debit	Credit
2018
January 1	Cash	$98,000
	Discount on Bonds Payable	$2,000
	Bonds Payable		$100,000
	(To record the issue of the bonds at a 2% discount)

July 1	Interest Expense	$2,100
	Discount on Bonds Payable		$100
	Cash		$2,000
	(To record the payment of interest and amortization of discount)

Calculation of cash received on issue of bond and interest expenses:

$\begin{matrix} Issue Price = Par Value \times \frac{$ 98}{100} \\ = $ 100, 000 \times \frac{$ 98}{100} \\ = $ 98, 000 \end{matrix}$

$\begin{matrix} Discounton Bonds Payable = Par Value - Issue Price \\ = $ 100, 000 - $ 98, 000 \\ = $ 2, 000 \end{matrix}$

$\begin{matrix} Discount Amortize = \frac{Discount on Bonds Payable}{Semi-annualPeriod} \\ = \frac{$ 2, 000}{10 \times 2} \\ = $ 100 \end{matrix}$

$\begin{matrix} Coupon Amount = Par Value \times Coupon Rate \times Time Period \\ = $ 100, 000 \times 4 % \times \frac{6}{12} \\ = $ 2, 000 \end{matrix}$

$\begin{matrix} Interest Expenses = Discount On Bond Amortized + Coupon Amount \\ = $ 100 + $ 2, 000 \\ = $ 2, 100 \end{matrix}$

Journal entries when bonds issued at premium

Date	Particulars	Debit	Credit
2018
January 1	Cash	$106,000
	Premium on Bonds Payable		$6,000
	Bonds Payable		$100,000
	(To record the issue of the bonds at a 6% premium)

July 1	Interest Expense	$1,700
	Premium on Bonds Payable	$300
	Cash		$2,000
	(To record the payment of interest and amortization of premium)

Calculation of cash received on issue of bond and interest expenses

$\begin{matrix} Issue Price = Par Value \times \frac{$ 106}{100} \\ = $ 100, 000 \times \frac{\begin{array}{l} $ 10 \\ $ 106 \end{array}}{100} \\ = $ 106, 000 \end{matrix}$ .

$\begin{matrix} Premium on Bonds Payable = Issue Price - Par Value \\ = $ 106, 000 - $ 100, 000 \\ = $ 6, 000 \end{matrix}$

$\begin{matrix} Premium Amortize = \frac{Premium on Bond sPayable}{Semi-annualPeriod} \\ = \frac{$ 6, 000}{10 \times 2} \\ = $ 300 \end{matrix}$

$\begin{matrix} Interest Expenses = Coupon Amount - Premium on Bond Amortized \\ = $ 2, 000 - $ 300 \\ = $ 1, 700 \end{matrix}$
