Part A.
Computations:
(a) Issued at par, $500,000
(b) $500,000
8%
10/12 = $33,333
(c) Cash paid: $50,000
8% = $40,000
Interest payable (per b) = $33,333
Interest expense ($500,000
8%
2/12) = $6,667
Part B.
Halbur Corporation has borrowed money via its bonds from March 1 through December 31,
2009. It has, therefore, incurred an expense for the use of money for ten months. To reflect
this interest expense (of $33,333) in the proper accounting period, as accrual adjusting entry is
required.

years 2007 through 2009 (in millions):
A. Compute Tommy Toys times interest earned ratio for all three years:
B. Briefly interpret their times interest earned ratio for the three years.
B. In 2008, Tommy Toys had lower earnings and a higher amount of interest expense
generated in that year. As a result, the ratio reported is lower than in the other two years
examined. However, the ratio was stronger in both 2007 and 2009 indicating sufficient
earnings to cover interest expense on the strength of improved earnings. More important
would be to assess their cash flow from operations to determine if they can pay their interest.

87. On January 1, 2009, Mendez Corporation issued 400 of its $1,000, ten-year, 9% bonds.
The bonds were dated January 1, 2009, and interest is paid annually each December 31. The
bonds issued at 99.
Part A: Give the entry to record the issuance of the bonds on January 1, 2009:
Part B: Were the bonds issued at par, at a premium, or at a discount? How did you arrive at
your answer?
Part A:
Part B:
The bonds were issued at discount. They were issued at 99 which means the bond price equals
to 99% of their face or par value. Since 99 is less than 100%, they were issued at less than par
or at a discount.

88. Consider the following statement: "Issuing bonds at a discount is bad for the issuing
corporation."Discuss the statement and comment on its validity.
The issuance of bonds at a discount is not bad nor is the issuance of bonds at a premium good.
Bonds are issued at a price based on the market rate of interest. When bonds are issued at a
discount, the market rate exceeds the stated rate. When bonds are issued at a premium, the
stated rate exceeds the market rate. The price at which bonds are issued simply adjusts the
selling price to yield the market rate to the bondholders.

amortized using the straight-line method through December 31, 2010. On June 30, 2011,
TreeTop retired all the bonds by exercising the call feature. The call price was 101. Record
the journal entry for the call of the bonds on June 30, 2011. (Remember to amortize the
discount and update the book value of the bonds for the half-year prior to retirement).
$200,000/10 = $20,000 annual amortization of discount

7.5 years = $150,000 of amortized
discount through June 30, 2011. Face value of the bonds $5,000,000 minus the unamortized
discount $50,000 = book value of $4,950,000 compared to the $5,050,000 cash paid generates
