Bond Pricing
The issue price of a bond is equal to the present value of the bond’s future cash payments.
Bonds may be exchanged in the market at a price equal to, below, or above the face value of the bond.
This occurs when the market rate of interest is different from the stated (contract) rate.
Bond market values are expressed as a percent of their par (face) value.

13. Issuing Bonds Between Interest Dates
When bonds are sold at a date other than the interest payment date, the purchaser pays the purchase price plus accrued interest.
The issuing company repays the interest on the next interest date.

14. Illustration: Issuing Bonds Between Interest Dates
Canadian Tire has $100,000 of 9% bonds available for sale on January 1. Interest is payable on each June 30 and December 31. If the bonds are sold at par on March 1, two months after the original issue date of January 1, the issuer collects two months’ interest from the buyer at the time of sale.

The issue price of the bond equals the present value of the future cash payments. The market rate for Fila’s bonds is 10%. Since the market rate is higher than the contract rate of 8%, the bonds will sell at a discount.

Illustration: Amortizing a Bond Discount
The discount of $5,077 is eventually paid to the bondholders and represents part of the cost of using the $94,923 for three years.
The discount is amortized over the life of the bonds using either the Straight-Line Method or the Effective Interest Method.
© 2007 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.

24. Straight-Line Method
An equal portion of the discount is allocated to each period. This yields a constant dollar amount of interest expense each period.

This method allocates bond interest expense over the life of the bonds that yields a constant rate of interest. The interest expense increases each period since the balance in the liability account increases each period.

28. Issuing Bonds at a Premium
If the contract rate on a bond is greater than the market rate of interest, the bond will sell at a price above the bond’s par value.
The difference between par value and market value is known as a premium.
The premium is amortized over the life of the bond using either the Straight-Line Method or the Effective Interest Method.

Bond Retirements
Bonds may be retired:
At maturity,
Before maturity, or
By converting them to shares.
© 2007 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.

32. Retirement of Bonds at Maturity
The carrying value of bonds at maturity will always equal their par value.

Illustration: Retiring Bonds at Maturity
Assume Hydro Quebec had $50,000 of bonds that matured on December 31, 2011, and that the final interest payment has already been made.
The entry to record the retirement of the bonds would be:

34. Retirement of Bonds Before Maturity
Companies may wish to retire their bonds before maturity.
This may be accomplished by either:
Exercising a call option, or
Purchasing the bonds on the open market.

35. © 2007 McGraw-Hill Ryerson Ltd.
Illustration: Retiring Bonds before Maturity
Assume a company issued callable bonds with a par value of $100,000. The call option requires the issuer to pay a call premium of $3,000 to bondholders in addition to the par value.
Assume all interest has been paid and the bonds have a carrying value of $104,500.
The entry to record the retirement of the bonds would be:
Bonds Payable ,000
Premium on Bonds Payable ,500
Gain on Retirement of Bonds ,500*
Cash ,000
($100,000 + $4,500) - $103,000 = $1500

36. Bond Retirement by Conversion to Shares
Convertible bonds give bondholders the right to convert their bonds to a specified number of common shares.
When conversion occurs, the carrying value of the bonds is transferred from long-term liability accounts to contributed capital accounts.
No gain or loss on conversion is recorded.

Illustration: Bond Retirement by Conversion to Shares
Assume a company has $100,000 par value bonds that have a $4,000 balance in the Discount on Bonds Payable account and these bonds are converted into 15,000 common shares.
The entry to record the conversion of the bonds would be:
Bonds Payable 100,000
Discount on Bonds Payable 4,000
Common Shares 96,000

38. Long-Term Notes Payable
Notes payable are typically transactions with a single lender.
Interest expense is allocated to each period.
Interest expense for the period =
Interest rate on the note x
Beginning-of-period balance

39. Long-Term Notes Payable
Payment options:
Interest and principal paid at maturity.
Installment notes:
Accrued interest plus equal principal payments.
Equal payments.

Mortgage Notes

Review
Compare the advantages and disadvantages of bond financing.
Advantages of bond financing include tax-deductible interest, no dilution of shareholders' equity, and the increased earnings on shareholders' equity due to financial leverage.
Disadvantages include repayment of principal, interest payments, and the risk of decreased earnings on shareholders' equity when operations are less profitable.

Review
Explain the amortization of bond discount.
Bond discounts occur when bonds are sold for less than face or par value. The discount represents extra interest, since the full face value must be paid to bondholders at maturity. The amount of the bond discount is amortized over the life of the bond. The preferred method is the effective interest rate method. Bond interest expense is calculated by multiplying the bonds' beginning-of-the-period carrying value by the original market rate of the bonds.
