How do the journal entries go for the party that purchases the bond?
Example:
For Issuer:
Dr. Cash 98,000
Dr. Discount on Bonds Payable 2,000
Cr. Bonds Payable 100,000
Is the entry for the Investor:
Dr. Investment in Bonds 98,000
Cr. Cash 98,000
And the investor disregards the discount?
Also, for the interest payments, lets say they go as follows for the issuer:
Dr. Bond Interest Expense 4,000
Dr. Premium on bonds (amort) 3,000
Cr. Cash 7,000
How would the investor record this? Would it be:
Dr. Cash 7,000
Cr. Interest Revenue 7,000
Stupid becker doesn’t really give you the perspective of the investor. Appreciate the help, as my FAR exam is Thursday. Thanks in advance.
