The company has a calendar year-end.Required:a) Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds.b) Prepare the adjusting entry required on December 31, Year 1. (Hint: Consider the interest that is owed to bondholders on this date.)c) Prepare the journal entry to record the first interest payment on July 31, Year 2.

What will be an ideal response?



a) 

Cash400,000?
  Bonds payable?400,000
Issuing the bonds is recorded as a debit (increase) to cash and a credit (increase) to the liability bonds payable.

b)
Interest expense10,000?
  Interest payable?10,000
Because the first interest payment is not until July 31, Year 2, Sanderling must accrue the interest expense that belongs in Year 1. Accrued interest expense = Face value of $400,000 × Stated rate of 6% × 5/12 = $10,000. 

c)
Interest payable10,000?
Interest expense14,000?
  Cash?24,000
Cash interest payment = Face value of $400,000 × Stated rate of 6% = $24,000; 
Although Sanderling pays $24,000 in interest in Year 2, $10,000 of this amount was already recognized and accrued at the end of Year 1; the remaining $14,000 (or $24,000 ? $10,000) is an expense in Year 2.
