Answer 1

Crane Company

Journal entry to record the sale of the bonds on June 1, 2022:

Debit Cash Account $375,950

Credit Bonds Payable $365,000

Credit Bonds Premium $10,950

To record the sale of 8% bonds at 103.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Face value of bonds = $365,000

Bonds maturity period = 20 years

Bonds issued at a premium of 103

Bonds rate of interest = 8% per annum

Number of bonds issued = $365,000/$100 = 3,650

Premium on bonds = 3,650 * $3 ($103 - $100) = $10,950
