Sagot :

Answer:

The price of the bonds $483,841.97    

Journal entry:

Dr cash $483,841.97    

Dr discount on bonds payable $16,158.03    

Cr bonds payable $500,000.00

Explanation:

Using a financial calculator, we determine the bond price by using the following inputs:

N=8(number of semiannual coupons in 4 years=4*2=8)

PMT=22500 (semiannual coupon=face value*coupon rate*6/12= $500,000*9%*6/12=$22,500)

I/Y=5(semiannual yield=10%%*6/12=5%)

FV=500000( the face value is $600,000)

CPT PV=$483,841.97    

Bond discount=face value-bond price

Bond discount=$500,000-$483,841.97    

Bond discount=$16,158.03    

The double entries are to debit cash and discount on bonds payable with $483,841.97 and $16,158.03  respectively while bonds payable is credited with the face value of $500,000
