Bond Characteristics and Terminology

The underlying contract between the company issuing bonds and the bondholders is called a bond indenture or trust indenture.

2

11-1212-12

Usually, the face value of each bond, called the principal, is $1,000 or a multiple of $1,000. Interest on bonds may be payable annually, semiannually, or quarterly. Most pay interest semiannually.

2

Bond Characteristics and Terminology

11-1312-13

• When all bonds of an issue mature at the same time, they are called term bonds.

• If the maturity dates are spread over several dates, they are called serial bonds.

2

Bond Characteristics and Terminology

• Bonds that may be exchanged for other securities are called convertible bonds.

11-1412-14

• Bonds that a corporation reserves the right to redeem before their maturity are called callable bonds.

2

• Bonds issued on the basis of general credit of the corporation are debenture bonds.

Bond Characteristics and Terminology

11-1512-15

The market or effective rate of interest is determined by transactions between buyers and sellers of similar bonds. The market rate of interest is affected by a variety of factors, including investors’ expectations of current and future economic conditions.

MARKET RATE = CONTRACT RATE

Selling price of bond = $1,000

If the contract rate equals the market rate of interest, the bonds will sell at their face amount.

MARKET RATE > CONTRACT RATE

–Discount

If the market rate is higher than the contract rate, the bonds will sell at a discount.

On January 1, 2009, Eastern Montana Communications Inc. issued for cash $100,000 of 12%, five-year bonds; interest payable semiannually. The market rate of interest is 12%.

Bonds Issued at Face Amount

3

11-2112-21

Since the bond rate of interest and the market rate of interest are the same, the bonds will sell at their face amount.

3

11-2212-22

Every six months (on June 30 and December 31) after the bonds are issued, interest of $6,000 ($100,000 × .12 × 6/12) is paid.

3

11-2312-23

The bond matured on December 31, 2013. At this time, the corporation paid the face amount to the bondholder.

11-2512-25

On January 1, 2009, the firm issued $100,000 bonds for $96,406 (a discount of $3,594).

On the first day of the fiscal year, a company issues a $1,000,000, 6%, 5-year bond that pays semi-annual interest of $30,000 ($1,000,000 × 6% × ½), receiving cash of $936,420. Journalize the entry to record the issuance of the bonds.

Amortizing a Bond Discount

The two methods of computing amortization of a bond discount are as follows:

1. Straight-line method

2. Effective interest rate method, sometimes called the interest method

Both methods amortize the same total amount of discount over the life of the bonds.

3

11-2812-28

On June 30, 2009, six-months’ interest is paid and the bond discount is amortized ($3,594 × 1/10) on the five-year bond issued in Slide 24.
