Interest Exercise

  • Issue 10 year, 7%, $10,000 bond
  • Interest is paid semiannually
  • Yield = 6%

1. Record all journal entries for the first year (3/1/x1 - 12/31/x1) on the books of the investor under the assumption that the investor plans to hold the investment until maturity (i.e., reports the investment at amortized cost).

Hint:Do not use a premium or discount account. Amortize discounts and premiums as a direct adjustment to the Investment in Bonds account.

2. Describe what the investor will report (give category and dollar amounts) in the balance sheet and income statement at 12/31/x1.
