Problems Bonds-Payable
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
Explanation: Interest expense for 6 months is recognized on October 01, 2021 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
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).
REQUIRED:
1. Journal entries relating to the bonds payable in 2020 and 2021. Straight line amortization is used and Unissued Bonds Payable account is set
up.
2. Statement presentation of the bonds payable as at and for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Explanations on the retirement of bonds prior to maturity.
1. Amortization of bond issue cost, discount or premium must be updated as at the date of the retirement of the bonds.
2. The difference between the retirement price of the bonds and its carrying amount as at the date of retirement is treated as gain (RP < CA) or
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.

Requirement No. 2
December 31, 2020 December 31, 2022 (continuation)
JAMES BOND Co. was authorized to issue 12%, 7-year serial bonds with Interest expense 960,000
face amount of P8,000,000. Cash 960,000
REQUIRED:
1. Interest expense for the year 2020.
2. Gain or loss from change in fair value for the year 2020.
3. Carrying amount of the bonds as at December 31, 2020.
4. Journal entries for the year 2020.
ANSWERS (Problem No. 5)
Explanations:
1 Interest expense (P4,000,000 x 6%) 240,000 1. When bonds are measured at fair value, the carrying amount of
the bonds at the end of each reporting date is the current fair value
2 Fair value at year-end (P4,000,000 x 95%) 3,800,000 (quotation) of the bonds.
Fair value as at date of issuance 3,677,600
Loss from change in fair value 122,400 2. The gain or loss from change in fair value is reported as follows:
3 Carrying amount of the bonds 12.31.2020 3,800,000 2.1 The portion of the gain or loss related to CREDIT RISK is
reported under "other comprehensive income".
4 Journal Entries
January 01, 2020 2.2 The portion of the gain or loss NOT related to CREDIT RISK
Cash 3,677,600 is reported in "profit or loss".
Bonds payable 3,677,600
3. Interest expense for the period pertains only to the nominal interest
December 31, 2020 since no amortization is made on the purchase difference.
Interest expense 240,000
Cash 240,000
It is reliably determined that the fair value increased is comprised of P150,000 attributable to credit risk and the remainder is attributable to change
in market interest rate.
REQUIRED:
REQUIRED:
1. Interest expense for the year 2020.
2. Gain or loss from change in fair value for the year 2020.
3. Carrying amount of the bonds as at December 31, 2020.
4. Journal entries for the year 2020.
Unsecured:
9% registered bond, P250,000 maturing annually beginning in 2021 2,750,000
11% convertible bonds, callable beginning in 2021 due 2022 1,250,000
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.
ANSWERS:
1) 9% registered bond, P250,000 maturing annually beginning in 2021 2,750,000
10% commodity backed bonds, P500,000 maturing annually beginning in 2021 2,000,000
Total serial bonds, December 31, 2020 4,750,000
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.
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.
What total amount should be reported as bond issue cost on the date of issuance?
Answer:
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
Unamortized bond discount (50,000) 4,980,000
Gain on redemption of bonds (early retirement) 80,000
PROBLEM NO. 11 (Effective interest method of amortization)

12/31/2029 720,000 611,730 108,270 6,000,000
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.
REQUIRED:
1. Amortization table for the discount amortization.
2. Journal entries relating to the bonds payable for the years 2020 to 2023
