BONDS

PROBLEM NO. 1 (Basic Journal Entries_Straightline method of amortization)


JAMES BOND Co. was authorized to issue 12%, 10-year bonds with face amount of P7,000,000 on April 01, 2020. Interest on the bonds is
payable semi-annually on April 01 and October 01 of each year. The bonds were sold to underwriters on April 01, 2020 at 106. The entity
amortizes discount or premium only at the end of the accounting year, using the straight line method of amortization.

REQUIRED:
1. Prepare journal entries for 2020 and 2021 including adjustments at the end of each year. Use the Memorandum Approach.

2. Present the bonds bayable in the statement of financial position on December 31, 2021 using the Memorandum Approach.

3. Prepare journal entries for 2020 and 2021 including adjustments at the end of each year. Use the Journal Entry Approach.

4. Present the bonds bayable in the statement of financial position on December 31, 2021 using the Journal Entry Approach.

ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS (Problem No. 1):


MEMORANDUM APPROACH (Requirement No. 1) JOURNAL ENTRY APPROACH (Requirement No. 3)
April 01, 2020
James Bond Co. was authorized to issue 12%, 10-year bonds with Unissued bonds payable 7,000,000
face amount of P7,000,000. Authorized bonds payable 7,000,000

Explanation: Under the 'memorandum approach", only a narrative memorandum entry is made at the time of approval of the issuance of
the bonds while a formal journal entry is prepared under the "journal entry approach". The "authorized bonds payable" account is credited
under the journal entry approach to indicate the maximum face amount of bonds that can be sold while the "unissued bonds payable"
account is debited upon authorization and credited each time a sale of the bonds is made.

Cash 7,420,000 Cash 7,420,000


Bonds payable 7,000,000 Unissued bonds payab 7,000,000
Premium on bonds payable 420,000 Premium on bonds payable 420,000

Explanation: No accounting issue arises when bonds are sold at face amount. If the selling price of the bonds is higher than its face
amount, a premium is recognized ("premium on bonds payable" account). However, a discount account (discount on bonds payable
account) is recorded if the selling price of the bonds is lower than its face amount. The difference between the selling price or issue price of
the bonds and its face amount is amortized over the life of the bonds using effective interest method, unless a particular method (e.g.
straight line method) is required to be used in the problem.

Cash 420,000 Cash 420,000

Explanation: Interest expense for 6 months is recognized on October 01, 2020 along with a credit to the "cash" account. The interest for
the 6-month period is computed as follows: Interest = P7,000,000 x 12% x 6/12

Interest expense 31,500 Interest expense 31,500

Explanation: Interest expense for 3 months (October 01 - December 31) is accrued on December 31, 2020 along with a credit to the
"interest payable" account. The accrued interest computed as follows: Interest = P7,000,000 x 12% x 3/12. The amortization of premium
increases the interest expense for the period and is computed using the straight line method as follows: Amortization = (P420,000 / 10) x
9/12

January 01, 2021


Interest payable 210,000 Interest payable 210,000
Interest expense 210,000 Interest expense 210,000

Explanation: The adjusting entry for the accrued interest on the bonds payable as at December 31, 2020 is reversed on the beginning of
the next accounting period to facilitate the usual recording of transactions and to eliminate the account (interest payable account) created
during the preparation of the adjusting entry.

loss (RP > CA) on the retirement of bonds.
3. The retirement price of the bonds, for purposes of determining any gain or loss, should not include any accrued interest on the bonds to be
retired.
4. The carrying amount of the bonds to be retired is equal to the face amount of the bonds retired plus any unamortized premium less any
unamortized discount and bond issue cost.

Secured:
12% guaranty security bonds, due 2022 2,500,000
10% commodity backed bonds, P500,000 maturing annually beginning in 2021 2,000,000
REQUIRED:
1. Total amount of serial bonds as at December 31, 2020.
2. Total amount of debenture bonds as at December 31, 2020.

11% convertible bonds, callable beginning in 2021 due 2022 1,250,000
Total debenture bonds, December 31, 2020 4,000,000

Explanations: SERIAL bonds are bond securities that mature in series of installments. Bonds that are scheduled to mature on a single date of
maturity are called TERM bonds. DEBENTURE bonds are bonds that are unsecured or without any collateral security.

PROBLEM NO. 8 (Net cash received from the issuance of bonds)


On April 01, 2020. James Bond Co. issued, at 99 plus accrued interest, 4,000 8% bonds with face amount of P1,000 per bond. The bonds are
dated Janury 01, 2020, mature on January 01, 2030 and pay interest on January 01 and July 01. The entity paid bond issue cost of P140,000 at
the time of issuance. How much cash was received from the bond issuance?

Answer:
Issue price for the bonds (4,000 bonds x P1,000 per bond x 99%) 3,960,000
Accrued interest (4,000 bonds x P1,000 per bond x 8% x 3/12) 80,000
Bond issue cost (140,000)
Net cash received from the issuance of the bonds 3,900,000

Explanations:
1. Accrued interest is added to the issue price of the bonds in determining the cash received from the bond issuance. However, accrued interest
is not considered for purposes of determining the amount of premium or discount resulting from bond issuance.
2. Bond issue cost is deducted from the issue price of the bonds in determining the net cash received from the bond issuance. Bond issue cost is
amortized over the credit term following the same approach applied to discount on bonds payable.

PROBLEM NO. 9 (Bond issue costs)


During the current year, James Bond Co. incurred the following costs in connection with the issuance of bonds:

Promotion cost 200,000 Fees paid to independent accountants for


Printing and engraving 150,000 registration information 100,000
Legal fees 800,000 Commissions paid to underwriters 900,000

What total amount should be reported as bond issue cost on the date of issuance?

Answer: Explanations: Bon issue costs are transaction costs directly


Promotion cost 200,000 attributable to the issue of the bonds. Under PFRS 9, bond issue
Printing and engraving 150,000 costs shall be deducted from the issue price of the bonds during the

Total bond issue cost 2,150,000

PROBLEM NO. 10 (Retirement of bonds prior to maturity)

unamortized bond discount were P30,000 aand P50,000, respectively. On that date, the entity acquired all outstanding bonds on the open market
at 98 and retired them. On June 30, 2020, what amount should be recognized as gain on redemption of bonds?

Retirement price of the bonds (P5,000,000 x 98%) 4,900,000
Carrying amount of the retired bonds:
Face amount 5,000,000
Unamortized bond premium 30,000

Explanations:
1. The nominal rate (12%) is the stated rate on the face of the bond instrument. Nominal rate is used in determining the interest payment per
interest period or the amount of interest accrued at end of the year. Nominal interest is determined by multiplying the face amount of the bonds by
the nominal rate of interest.
2. The effective rate (10%) is the actual interest incurred on the bonds. It is sometimes referred to as the yield rate or the market rate of interest.
Effective interest is computed by multiplying the immediately preceding present value (carrying amount) of the bonds by the effective rate of interest.

3. Discount on bonds payable is recognized when the effective rate of interest is higher than the nominal rate of interest. Premium on bonds
payable is recognized if the nominal rate is higher than the effective rate of interest. If bonds are issued at face amount, effective rate of interest is
equal to the nominal rate of interest on the bonds.
4. The premium amortization (difference between the effective interest and nominal interest) is deducted from the previous carrying amount in
determining the carrying amount as at the end of the current reporting period. Premium amortization decreases both the interest expense
recognized during the period and the subsequent carrying amount of the bonds.
