Answer 1

$1,820,000 million in bonds issued January 1, 2022

coupon rate 6%

maturity = 10 years x 2 = 20 periods

market interest rate = 7%

1) January 1, 2022, bonds issued at a discount

Dr Cash 1,692,171

Dr Discount on bonds payable 127,829

Cr Bonds payable 1,820,000

2) December 31, 2022, accrued interests on bonds payable

Dr Interest expense 118,452

Cr Interest payable 109,200

Cr Discount on bonds payable 9,252

amortization of bond discount = ($1,692,171 x 7%) - $109,200 = $9,252

3) January 1, 2023, first coupon payment

Dr Interest payable 109,200

Cr Cash 109,200

4) December 31, 2023, accrued interests on bonds payable

Dr Interest expense 119,100

Cr Interest payable 109,200

Cr Discount on bonds payable 9,900

amortization of bond discount = ($1,701,423 x 7%) - $109,200 = $9,900
