CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES

1. Explain a current liability, and identify the major types of current liabilities. A current liability is a debt that a company can reasonably expect to pay (1) from existing current assets or through the creation of other current liabilities, and (2) within one year or the operating cycle, whichever is longer. The major types of current liabilities are notes payable, accounts payable, sales taxes payable, unearned revenues, and accrued liabilities such as taxes, salaries and wages, and interest payable.

2. Describe the accounting for notes payable. When a promissory note is interest-bearing, the amount of assets received upon the issuance of the note is generally equal to the face value of the note. Interest expense accrues over the life of the note. At maturity, the amount paid equals the face value of the note plus accrued interest.

3. Explain the accounting for other current liabilities. Companies record sales taxes payable at the time the related sales occur. The company serves as a collection agent for the taxing authority. Sales taxes are not an expense to the company. Companies initially record unearned revenues in an Unearned Revenue account. As the company earns the revenue, a transfer from unearned revenue to earned revenue occurs. Companies report the current maturities of long-term debt as a current liability in the balance sheet.

4. Explain why bonds are issued and identify the types of bonds. Companies may sell bonds to investors to raise long-term capital. Bonds offer the following advantages over common stock: (a) stockholder control is not affected, (b) tax savings result, (c) earnings per share of common stock may be higher. The following types of bonds may be issued: secured and unsecured, term and serial bonds, registered and bearer bonds, and convertible and callable bonds.

5. Prepare the entries for the issuance of bonds and interest expense. When companies issue bonds, they debit Cash for the cash proceeds, and credit Bonds Payable for the face value of the bonds. The account Premium on Bonds Payable shows the bond premium; Discount on Bonds Payable shows a bond discount.

6. Describe the entries when bonds are redeemed or converted. When bondholders redeem bonds at maturity, the issuing company credits Cash and debits Bonds Payable for the face value of the bonds. When bonds are redeemed before maturity, the issuing company (a) eliminates the carrying value of the bonds at the redemption date, (b) records the cash paid, and (c) recognizes the gain or loss on redemption. When bonds are converted to common stock, the issuing company transfers the carrying (or book) value of the bonds to appropriate paid-in capital accounts; no gain or loss is recognized.

7. Describe the accounting for long-term notes payable. Each payment consists of (1) interest on the unpaid balance of the loan and (2) a reduction of loan principal. The interest decreases each period, while the portion applied to the loan principal increases.

8. Identify the methods for the presentation and analysis of long-term liabilities. Companies should report the nature and amount of each long-term debt in the balance sheet or in the notes accompanying the financial statements. Stockholders and long-term creditors are interested in a company’s long-run solvency. Debt to total assets and times interest earned are two ratios that provide information about debt-paying ability and long-run solvency.

^a 9. Compute the market price of a bond. Time value of money concepts are useful for pricing bonds. The present value (or market price) of a bond is a function of three variables: (1) the payment amounts, (2) the length of time until the amounts are paid, and (3) the interest rate.

^a 10. Apply the effective-interest method of amortizing bond discount and bond premium. The effective-interest method results in varying amounts of amortization and interest expense per period but a constant percentage rate of interest. When the difference between the straight-line and effective-interest method is material, GAAP requires the use of the effective-interest method.

^a 11. Apply the straight-line method of amortizing bond discount and bond premium. The straight-line method of amortization results in a constant amount of amortization and interest expense per period.

SHORT-ANSWER ESSAY QUESTIONS

S-A E 318

Bonds are frequently issued at amounts greater or less than face value. Describe how the market interest rate, relative to the contractual interest rate, affects the selling price of bonds. Also explain the rationale for requiring an investor to pay accrued interest when a bond is purchased between interest payment dates.

Ans: N/A, LO: 5, Bloom: , Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: Communication, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Reporting, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Reporting

Solution 318

The market interest rate often is different from the contractual interest rate and therefore bonds are frequently issued at amounts greater or less than face value. When the market interest rate is higher than the contractual rate, investors can find better investments elsewhere and consequently there is less demand for the bonds. So to make the bonds more attractive the issue price will be lowered and the bonds will be issued at a discount. Conversely, if the market interest rate is less than the contractual rate there will be greater demand for the bonds because of the higher interest rate. Thus, the issue price will be greater than face value and the bonds will be issued at a premium.

The investor is required to pay accrued interest because it allows the bond issuer to make the same interest payment to all bondholders on the same interest payment date. Otherwise the bond issuer would have to determine the interest payment for each bondholder based on how long that particular bond had been outstanding. Thus, the bond issuer does not have to maintain detailed records and saves bookkeeping costs.

S-A E 319

When a bond sells at a discount, what is probably true about the market interest rate versus the stated interest rate? Discuss.

Ans: N/A, LO: 5, Bloom: , Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: Communication, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Measurement, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics

Solution 319

For someone to purchase a bond at a discount, the stated interest rate normally must be below the market interest rate for similar bonds. Investors will need to make up the difference by paying less than the face value for the bonds.

Bonds may be redeemed (retired) before maturity by the issuing corporation. Explain why a company would decide to retire bonds before maturity and the necessary steps to record the redemption.

Ans: N/A, LO: 6, Bloom: , Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: Communication, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Decision Modeling, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics

Solution 320

A company may decide to retire bonds before maturity to reduce interest cost and remove debt from its balance sheet. A company will retire debt early only if it has sufficient cash resources.

When bonds are retired before maturity, it is necessary to eliminate the carrying value of the bonds at the redemption date and recognize a gain or loss on redemption. The gain or loss is the difference between the cash paid and the carrying value of the bonds.

^a S-A E 321

Kim Estes and Jeff Malone are discussing how the market price of a bond is determined. Kim believes that the market price of a bond is solely a function of the amount of the principal payment at the end of the term of a bond. Is she right? Discuss.

Ans: N/A, LO: 9, Bloom: , Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: Communication, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Research, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics

^a Solution 321

No, Kim is not right. The market price of any bond is a function of three factors: (1) The dollar amounts to be received by the investor (interest and principal), (2) The length of time until the amounts are received (interest payment dates and maturity date), and (3) The market interest rate.

Megan Stone is discussing the advantages of the effective-interest method of bond amortization with her accounting staff. What do you think Megan is saying?

Ans: N/A, LO: 10, Bloom: , Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: Communication, AICPA BB: Legal/Regulatory, AICPA FN: Decision Modeling, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics

^a Solution 322

Megan is probably indicating that since the borrower has the use of the bond proceeds over the term of the bonds, the borrowing rate in each period should be the same. The effective-interest method results in a varying amount of interest expense but a constant rate of interest on the balance outstanding. Accordingly, it results in a better matching of expenses with revenues than the straight-line method.

S-A E 323 (Ethics)

Hannah Company maintains two separate accounts payable computer systems. One is known to all the users, and is used to process payments to vendors. Employees enter the vendor code, or the name and address of new vendors, the amount, the account, and so on. The other system is a secret one. It is used to cross-check the vendors against an approved vendor list. If a vendor is not listed as approved, the payment process is halted. Internal audit employees seek to verify the existence of a bona fide claim by the vendor. All inquiries are made at the top management level, and very discreetly. No one but top management, the internal audit staff, and the Board of Directors of the company is even aware of the second system.

Required:

Is it ethical for a company to have a secret system like the one described? Explain.

Ans: N/A, LO: 3, Bloom: K, Difficulty: Easy, Min: 5, AACSB: Ethics, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector Perspective, AICPA FN: Risk Management, AICPA PC: None, IMA: Internal Controls

Solution 323

Secret systems that seek to verify the integrity of the non-secret primary system are certainly ethical. In fact, nearly all fraud and theft detection systems are secret. It is only the misuse of these systems, such as to obtain unauthorized information, or to commit some other crime, that is unethical.

S-A E 324 (Communication)

Susan Kline works for Trend Press, a fairly large book publishing firm. Her best friend and rival, Lisa, works for Silver Books, a smaller publisher. Both companies issue $100,000 in bonds on July 1. Trend's bonds were issued at a discount, while Silver's were issued at a premium. Lisa sent Susan a fax the next day. She told Susan that it was obvious who the better publisher was—the market had shown its preference! She reminded Susan again of her recent increase in salary as further proof of the superiority of Silver Books.

Required:

Draft a short note for Susan to send to Lisa. Explain how such a result could occur.

Ans: N/A, LO: 5, Bloom: , Difficulty: Medium, Min: 5, AACSB: Communication, AICPA BB: Industry/Sector, AICPA FN: Decision Modeling, AICPA PC: Communications, IMA: Business Economics

Solution 324

Many answers are possible. The format should be fairly informal, and the point that a discount or premium is not necessarily a judgment on the strength or weakness of a company should be addressed. A suggested note follows:

Lisa—

I can't believe that Silver can survive with people like you handling their money! I also can't believe their lack of judgment in giving you a raise! Just kidding! Seriously, though, you can't prove that Trend is a bad company just by the bond price.

Our bonds were issued at a discount, not because of the market's evaluation of our company, but because we underestimated interest rates. Silver got a premium because it overestimated interest rates. You'll have to find some other evidence to prove your company is better, (which you can't, because it isn't).

Seriously (again), congratulations on your raise. Shall we still meet for lunch on Wednesday? How about trying our luck with chopsticks at the Chinese Panda? Let me know if your plans change.
