Required: Prepare the journal entries to record the (a) issuance of the bonds, (b)the payment of interest and (c) amortization of debt issue costs on December 31, 2021 & June 30, 2022, and the (d) call of the bonds. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

The explanation of the answer in now given as follows:

(a) issuance of the bonds

The journal entries will look as follows:

Date               Accounts Title $ Explan.       Debit ($)       Credit ($)      

30 Jun. ’21     Cash (w.1)                              383,500

                          Bonds Payable                                          383,500

                       (To record the issuance of Bonds.)                                    

(b)the payment of interest

The journal entries will look as follows:

Date               Accounts Title $ Explan.       Debit ($)       Credit ($)      

31 Dec. ’21     Interest Expense                      20,825

                        Bonds Payable (w.5)                                         825

                        Cash (w.2)                                                    20,000

                      (To record the Interest Expense.)                                      

30 Jun. ’22     Interest Expense 20,825

                          Bonds Payable (w.5)                                      825

                          Cash (w.2)                                                 20,000

                        (To record the Interest Expense.)                                    

(d) call of the bonds

The journal entries will look as follows:

Date               Accounts Title $ Explan.       Debit ($)        Credit ($)      

01 Jul. ’22       Bonds Payable (w.1)                385,150  

                       Loss on Bonds retired (w.7)       9,850

                         Cash                                                            $395,000

                       (To record the bonds retired early.)                                  

Workings:

w.1: Cash received = Bonds Payable = Amount the bond is issued - Debt issue costs = $385,000 - $1,500 = $383,500

w.2: Interest Expense= Bond face value * Bond rate * (Number of months in semiannual / Number of months in a year) = $400,000 * 10% * (6/12) = $20,000

w.3: Total cost on Bonds Payable issued = (Bond face value - Amount the bond is issued) + Debt issue costs = ($400,000 - $385,000) + $1,500 = $15,000 + $1,500 = $16,500

W.4: Annual cost amortization = Total cost on Bonds Payable issued * Bond rate =$16,500 * 10% = $1,650

w.5: Semiannual cost amortization = Annual cost amortization * (Number of months in semiannual / Number of months in a year) = $1,650 * (6/12) = $825

w.6: Total amount Payable on Bonds = Cash received from w.1 + Semiannual cost amortization on 31 December 2021 + + Semiannual cost amortization on 30 June 2022 = $383,500 + $825 + $825 = $385,150

w.7: Loss on retirement of Bonds = Amount the bond is retired - Total Amount Payable on Bonds = $395,000 - $385,150 = $9,850

the correct answer is economics is a game without winners or losers.

unlike sports or games economic is a game without losers or winner rather it is a game where everyone wins. parties of business doing businesses exchange money with each other and hence exchange is done on the basis of goods. one party takes the goods and other sales it so there is winner on both sides. each party values more highly the good it gets than the good it gives up. both sides exchange only because both intend to increase their value. so there is no concept of lose or win.
