On January 1, 2009, Standard Incorporated is going to issue long-term debt in order to obtain money required to finance the purchase of equipment. It will have to pay a market rate of interest of 10% on this borrowed money. Standard is considering two different financial instruments in order to obtain $10,494. The first instrument being considered is a 3-year, 12%, $10,000 note with interest payable every December 31 over the life of the note. Alternatively, a 3-year, non-interest-bearing note with maturity value of $13,657 will be issued. Show how Standard's January 1, 2009 balance sheet and 2009 income statement will differ if Standard chooses to issue the non-interest-bearing note instead of the 10% note.
The present value of both financial instruments on January 1, 2009, at an 10% market rate of interest is $10,494. Because each note payable would be carried on the balance sheet at its present value, Standard's January 1, 2009, balance sheet would be unaffected by the choice of financial instruments issued. The presentation under each of the alternative liabilities at January 1, 2009 would be:
Because interest expense is the market rate of interest times the carrying value at the beginning of the year, during 2009 interest expense would also be the same. Under either financial instrument, interest expense would be .10 x $10,494 = $1,049. Net income for 2009 would be unaffected by the choice of notes.
On January 1, 2009, Enron Corporation issued a 4-year, 7%, $9,000 bond payable. Beginning in 2010, interest is payable annually every January 1. The market rate of interest at issuance is 9%. How much are the interest payments by Enron? Why is the amount of interest expense different than the cash payments?
7% x $9,000 = $630 per year for 4 years
Interest expense is different since it is based on the market rate of interest of 9%. The investor will earn and the issuer must incur the market rate for both parties to be in agreement on the bond transactions, i.e., the investor demands to earn 9% on this bond since he can earn 9% on other investments in the market. Conversely, the issuer will not attract any investors unless it provides a return of 9% to the investors.
On September 10, 2009, Humbert Company issued bonds with a face value of $600,000 for a price of 102. During 2012, Humbert exercised a call provision and redeemed the bonds for 101. At the time of the redemption, the bonds had a balance sheet value of $607,000. The journal entry to record the redemption includes:
a. a credit to Gain on Redemption for $1,000.
b. a debit to Premium on Bonds for $7,000.
c. a credit to Discount on Bonds for $7,000.
d. a credit to Bonds Payable for $600,000.
On January 1, 2010, Foster Corporation issued a 2-year, non-interest-bearing, $4,000 note payable. Interest is payable each December 31 during the life of the note. When the note was issued, the market rate of interest was 6%. Complete the following amortization schedule:


On January 1, a 5-year, $4,000 non-interest-bearing note payable was issued for $2,600 when the market rate of interest was 9%. What is the total interest expense that will be recognized over the life of the note? Round your final answer to the nearest dollar.
On January 1, 2009, Mega Company leased equipment under a 5-year lease with payments of $7,000 on each December 31 of the lease term. The present value of the lease payments at a discount rate of 9% is $27,230. The lease is considered a capital lease.

B. Why are some leases accounted for as purchases by the lessee?
On January 1, 2009, Parker Company leased equipment under a 3-year lease with payments of $5,000 on each December 31 of the lease term. The present value of the lease payments at a discount rate of 12% is $12,010. If the lease is considered a capital lease, depreciation expense (straight-line) and interest expense are recognized. If the lease is considered an operating lease, then rent expense is recognized. What is the difference in the total combined net incomes of 2009, 2010, and 2011, if the lease is considered a capital lease instead of an operating lease?
