Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To show the effect of the transaction on the statement of financial position and statement of profit or loss for the three-year term of the debenture, we need to consider the initial issuance, the annual interest expense, the annual amortization of the discount, and the redemption at par value on December 31, 2017. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the effects:

1. Initial Issuance on January 1, 2015:

a. Cash Received from Issuance:

- Debentures issued at a discount of 14% of $360,000 = $360,000 * 0.14 = $50,400

- Issue costs: $5,265

b. Debenture Liability on the Statement of Financial Position:

- The face value of the debentures issued = $360,000

c. The discount on the Statement of Financial Position:

- Discount on debentures = $50,400

d. Cash on the Statement of Financial Position:

- Cash = $360,000 (initial proceeds) - $5,265 (issue costs) = $354,735

2. Annual Interest Expense (Effective Interest Method):

Interest Expense = Carrying Amount at the beginning of the year * Effective Interest Rate

Year 1 (January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2015):

Carrying amount at the beginning of the year = $360,000 - $50,400 = $309,600

Interest Expense = $309,600 * 8% = $24,768

Year 2 (January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2016):

Carrying amount at the beginning of the year = $360,000 - $50,400 - Amortization Year 1

Interest Expense = Carrying amount at the beginning of the year * 8%

Year 3 (January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2017):

Carrying amount at the beginning of the year = $360,000 - $50,400 - Amortization Year 1 - Amortization Year 2

Interest Expense = Carrying amount at the beginning of the year * 8%

3. Annual Amortization of the Discount:

The discount of $50,400 needs to be amortized over the life of the debenture. Each year, part of the discount is amortized and added to the interest expense. The annual amortization is calculated as follows:

Year 1 (January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2015):

Amortization = Carrying amount at the beginning of the year * Effective Interest Rate - Interest Expense Year 1

Year 2 (January 1, 2016, to December 31, 2016):

Amortization = (Carrying amount at the beginning of the year - Amortization Year 1) * Effective Interest Rate - Interest Expense Year 2

Year 3 (January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2017):

Amortization = (Carrying amount at the beginning of the year - Amortization Year 1 - Amortization Year 2) * Effective Interest Rate - Interest Expense Year 3

4. Redemption on December 31, 2017:

a. Cash Payment for Redemption:

- Par value of debentures = $360,000

b. Debenture Liability:

- Debentures issued at a discount - Par value of debentures redeemed

c. The discount on the Statement of Financial Position:

- No discount remains after redemption.

5. Year-End Entries for the Statement of Profit or Loss:

Year 1, Year 2, Year 3:

Interest Expense

Amortization of Discount

Year 3 (only):

Gain on Redemption (if any) or Loss on Redemption (if applicable)

Please note that the interest expense and amortization of the discount values will vary each year as the carrying amount changes. The exact values will depend on the specific calculations based on the Effective Interest Method.
