Q

What is the difference between straight line method and effective interest rate for bond interest expense?

A

Straight line method is not GAAP but still allowed. IFRS does not permit s-l method. It gives constant amount for carrying amount of a bond. Effective rate method makes carrying amount of the bond be higher at premium than d-l method and lower than s-l method at discount. Unamortized premium or discount will be bigger under effective interest.
