Q

Effective Interest Amortization Method

A

(not studied)
Amortization model that calculates interest expense based on the current carrying amount of the bond and the market interest rate at issuance, and then amortizes the difference between the cash interest payment and calculated interest expense as a decrease to discount or premium.

Required by GAAP unless straight line amounts are similar

Q

Types of Bonds

A

(Also called “features” of a bond)
- Secured vs unsecured (Debentures): secured bonds have assets used as collateral. Debentures are only backed by the credit-worthyness of the user.
- Term vs Serial: Term all mature at a specified date. Serial mature in installments at regular intervals
- Registered and Bearer (coupon) bonds
- Convertable: can be converted into stock
vs Callable: issuer may call and pay off whenever issuer chooses (usually at a price point slightly above the face value)

Q

Bonds sell at premium, face value or discount

A

Stated (coupon rate) > market interest rate = sold at a premium

  • issue price is greater than the face value
  • total cost of borrowing < interest paid

Stated Rate = Market Interest Rate = Sold at Face Value

State Rate < Market Rate = sold at a discount

  • issue price is below face value
  • Total cost of borrowing > interest paid

Q

Issuing Bonds

A

Bond Contract = Bond Indenture

  • state laws grant corporations the right to issue bonds
  • board and stockholders must approve issuing
  • Board stipulates: Number of bonds authorized, total face value (usually $1k each), and contractual interest rate
  • Bond = paper certificate = promise to pay sum of money at maturity date PLUS periodic interest at contractual (stated/face/coupon) rate on maturity amount. (periodic interest is usually semi-annually)
  • sold for issuing company by an investment company

A

Portion to be paid in next year = current liability

Remainder Outstanding = long term liability

49
Q

Premium on Bonds Payable on Balance Sheet

Discount on Bonds Payable on Balance Sheet

A

Long Term Liabilities
Bonds Payable
Less: Discount on Bonds Payable
Total = Carrying Value/ Book Value

Bond Discount = increase on cost of borrowing

51
