Garcia Company issues 10%, 15-year bonds with a par value of $240,000 and semiannual interest payments. On the issue date, the annual market rate for these bonds is 8%, which implies a selling price of 117 ¼. The effective interest method is used to allocate interest expense. 1. Using the implied selling price of 117 ¼, what are the issuer's cash proceeds from issuance of these bonds? 2. What total amount of bond interest expense will be recognized over the life of these bonds? 3. What amount of bond interest expense is recorded on the first interest payment date?

1. Cash proceed is $281,400.

2. Total bond interest expenses over the bond llife is $318,600.

3. Bond interest expense on first interest payment date is $11,256.

Explanation:

1. Using the implied selling price of 117 ¼, what are the issuer's cash proceeds from issuance of these bonds?

Selling price = 117 ¼ / 100 = 1.1725

Cash proceed = Bond face value * Bond selling price = $240,000 * 1.1725 = $281,400.

2. What total amount of bond interest expense will be recognized over the life of these bonds?

Total interest payment = $240,000 * 10% * 15 = $360,000

Total repayment = Total interest payment + Bond par value = $360,000 + $240,000 = $600,000

Total bond interest expenses over the bond llife = Total repayment - Cash proceed/Amount borrowed = $600,000 - $281,400 = $318,600

3. What amount of bond interest expense is recorded on the first interest payment date?

Bond interest expense on first interest payment date = Cash proceed * Annual market rate on issue date * (6/12) = $281,400 * 8% * 0.5 = $11,256

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
