34ESTIO#S 1* 9he issue price of a bond should al"ays be calculated using the marAet rate of interest. 9he face rate determines the dollar amount of interest0 but the marAet rate is used to calculate the present )alue that represents the issue price. +* 9he ta, ad)antage for bonds is the fact that interest paid on bonds is an e,pense that is deductible for ta, purposes0 "hereas di)idends paid on stocA are not deductible. ,* Bhen bonds are issued at a premium0 it is an indication that the face rate is higher than the marAet rate. -* @y basing each periodCs interest e,pense on a decreasing or increasing amount0 the amount of interest e,pense is different each period0 but the rate of interest remains the same. .* .morti(ation affects interest e,pense because premium or discount is amorti(ed to the Interest E,pense account. .morti(ation of premium decreases interest e,pense. .morti(ation of discount increases interest e,pense. /* .morti(ation of premium decreases the bond carrying )alue because it decreases the =remium on @onds =ayable account. !ince Discount on @onds =ayable is a contra liability account0 amorti(ation of discount increases the bond carrying )alue. 0* :ain or loss on bond redemption "ill almost al"ays occur "hen bonds are redeemed or retired before their scheduled due date. 9he gain or loss is computed as the difference bet"een the bond carrying )alue at the redemption date and the reacquisition price. 1* 1eases are not all accounted for in the same manner because of the )ariety of pro)isions that can be found in lease agreements. !ome leases are only short-term rental arrangements to use the asset0 and others are actually purchases of the asset o)er a long time period. It may be possible to de)elop an accounting rule to treat all leases similarly. <o"e)er0 the rule must also be fle,ible enough to co)er the "ide )ariety of financial arrangements that are all called leases. 2* Off-balance-sheet financing refers to transactions "hereby a party obtains the use of an asset but is not required to record the related liability on the balance sheet. 'irms may fa)or off-balance-sheet arrangements because they belie)e there are benefits in not recording an obligation as a liability. @enefits may include the maintenance of borro"ing capacity and fle,ibility in meeting debtDequity or similar requirements in e,isting loan contracts. 10* .n operating lease is not recorded on the balance sheet of the lessee0 and the only e,pense on the income statement is the rental payments. . capital lease is sho"n as an asset and a liability by the lessee. E,pense on the income statement includes interest on the liability and depreciation on the asset.

11* Depreciation should be recorded on leased assets treated as capital leases. :enerally0 depreciation should be recorded o)er the time period benefited by the asset0 "hich normally is the term of the lease. 1+* Deferred 9a, is an account that reconciles the differences bet"een the accounting for ta, purposes and the accounting for the financial statement prepared for stocAholders. If the Deferred 9a, account has a credit balance0 it represents a liability. If the account has a debit balance0 it should be presented as an asset on the balance sheet. 1,* . permanent difference affects only booA accounting but not ta, accounting0 or )ice )ersa0 ta, accounting but not booA accounting. 9emporary differences affect both booA and ta, accounting but in different time periods. 1-* 9he amount of ta, e,pense on the income statement does not represent the amount of ta, actually paid to the I>!. 9a, e,pense represents the e,pense computed using the accounting methods adopted for financial statement purposes. It does not reflect the accounting methods actually used for ta, accounting purposes. 1.* .ccounting liabilities are not necessarily legal liabilities. .ccounting taAes a broader )ie" and considers some items as liabilities that are not legally enforceable claims. E,amples include accrued liabilities0 some unearned income amounts0 and deferred ta,.
