10-1 Amortization of Premiums: Straight-Line Method Effective-Interest Method Chapter 10 Illustrated Solution: Problem 10-35
10-2 General Concerns with Bonds n A bond is like a fixed-payment contract with the interest rates and payment dates already set. n Bonds are often sold when the market rate of interest is different from the stated interest rate on the bonds. n Premium on Bonds n Discount on Bonds.
10-3 Problem Background n Locust Company sells $20,000 of their bonds to Allen Company for $20,850. n Bonds pay interest of 7% (on face value), or $700 every 6 months. n Assumptions: n Market interest rate at the time bonds are sold is approximately 6%. n The $850 difference between the face value of the bonds and the purchase (sales) price of the bonds will adjust the effective interest rate back to the market rate (approximately 6%).
10-4 n Every 6 months Allen Company will receive a payment from Locust Company of $700. n However, Allen Company’s interest revenue will be less than this $700 payment they receive because they paid $20,850 to acquire the bonds and they will only receive a payment of $20,000 when the bonds mature in 5 years. n Locust Company’s true interest expense is less than the $700 payment they make because they received $20,850 when they sold the bonds and they will only have to pay back $20,000 when the bonds mature in 5 years. n Question: How to account for this $850 premium? Premium on Bonds—The Concept
10-5 Straight-Line Method Under the straight-line method, the total premium is amortized evenly over the life of the bonds: In this case: Total Premium$850 Number of Payments 10 =$85per payment
10-6 Straight-Line Method Under the straight-line method, the total premium is amortized evenly over the life of the bonds: In this case: Total Premium$850 Number of Payments 10 =$85per payment In other words, every time Allen Company receives a $700 payment, they will only show $615 as revenue. Similarly, every time Locust Company makes a $700 payment, they will only show $615 as interest expense. The $85 difference will go to amortize the premium.

10-12 Effective-Interest Method n Under the effective interest method, the amount of the premium amortized each period will be different. n The amortization amount will be less in the early periods and greater in the later periods over the life of the bonds. n The amortization computation in each period will be made using the effective interest rate. In this example, Allen Company bought the bonds to yield approximately 6% annually (or 3% every 6 months). n The computations are illustrated in the table on the next slide.
