Assume the same facts as PB10-5, but now assume that Methodical uses the simplified effective-interest bond amortization method, as shown in Supplement 10C.

PB10-5

ABC Entertainment, Inc. owns and operates 361 movie theatres worldwide, with 5,203 screens in Canada. Assume the company issued 11 percent bonds in the amount of $53,000,000 and then used all of these cash proceeds to retire bonds with a coupon rate of 13.6 percent. At that time, the 13.6 percent bonds had a carrying value of $50,000,000.

1. Prepare a bond amortization schedule.

2. Give the journal entry to record the bond issue.

4. Give the journal entry to record the interest and face value payment on December 31, 2019.
