Respuesta :

Answer:

bond issuance:

Dr cash  $600,000

Cr bonds payable        $600,000

first semiannual interest payment:

Dr interest expense    $21000

Cr cash                                     $21000

Retirement of $200,00:

Dr bonds payable($200,000/$600,000*$200,000)$200,000

Dr loss on bond retirement                                                $2000

cr      cash($200,000*101%)                                                                $202,000

Explanation:

The issuance of the bond at par means that the cash realized is exactly the face value of $600,000,hence cash is debited with $600,000 while bonds payable is credited with $600,000.

Bal b/f             interest expense     coupon interest    bal c/f

$600,000          $21000                   $21000               $600,000

A bond issued at par implies that coupon rate equals yield to maturity,hence interest expense is the same as the coupon payment as shown below:

interest expense=coupon interest=$600,000*7%*6/12=$21000

Bal c/f=bal b/f+interest-coupon interest
