An example of an item which is not a liability is

The covenants and other terms of the agreement between the issuer of bonds
and the lender are set forth in the
bond indenture.

23.

The term used for bonds that are unsecured as to principal is

debenture bonds.

24.

Bonds for which the owners' names are not registered with the issuing
corporation are called
bearer bonds.

25.

Bonds that pay no interest unless the issuing company is profitable are called
income bonds.
If bonds are issued initially at a premium and the effective-interest method of
amortization is used, interest expense in the earlier years will be
greater than if the straight-line method were used.

26.

27.

The interest rate written in the terms of the bond indenture is known as the
coupon rate, nominal rate, or stated rate.

28.

The rate of interest actually earned by bondholders is called the

Use the following information for questions 29 and 30:

Fox Co. issued $100,000 of ten-year, 10% bonds that pay interest semiannually. The
bonds are sold to yield 8%.
29.

One step in calculating the issue price of the bonds is to multiply the principal by
the table value for
20 periods and 4% from the present value of 1 table.

31.

Reich, Inc. issued bonds with a maturity amount of $200,000 and a maturity ten
years from date of issue. If the bonds were issued at a premium, this indicates
that
the nominal rate of interest exceeded the market rate.

32.

If bonds are initially sold at a discount and the straight-line method of

amortization is used, interest expense in the earlier years will
exceed what it would have been had the effective-interest method of
amortization been used.

33.

Under the effective-interest method of bond discount or premium amortization,

the periodic interest expense is equal to
the market rate multiplied by the beginning-of-period carrying amount of
the bonds.

34.

When the effective-interest method is used to amortize bond premium or

discount, the periodic amortization will
increase if the bonds were issued at either a discount or a premium.

35.

If bonds are issued between interest dates, the entry on the books of the issuing
corporation could include a
credit to Interest Expense.

36.

When the interest payment dates of a bond are May 1 and November 1, and a

bonds.

38.

The printing costs and legal fees associated with the issuance of bonds should
be accumulated in a deferred charge account and amortized over the life of
the bonds.

39.

Treasury bonds should be shown on the balance sheet as

a deduction from bonds payable issued to arrive at net bonds payable and
outstanding.

40.

An early extinguishment of bonds payable, which were originally issued at a

premium, is made by purchase of the bonds between interest dates. At the time
of reacquisition
any costs of issuing the bonds must be amortized up to the purchase date.
the premium must be amortized up to the purchase date.
interest must be accrued from the last interest date to the purchase date.

41.

The generally accepted method of accounting for gains or losses from the early
extinguishment of debt treats any gain or loss as
a difference between the reacquisition price and the net carrying amount of
the debt which should be recognized in the period of redemption.

42.

"In-substance defeasance" is a term used to refer to an arrangement whereby

a company provides for the future repayment of a long-term debt by

note signed by the corporation is secured by a mortgage that pledges title to the
building as security for the loan. The corporation is to pay the bank $80,000 each
year for 10 years to repay the loan. Which of the following relationships can you
expect to apply to the situation?
The amount of interest expense will decrease each period the loan is
outstanding, while the portion of the annual payment applied to the loan
principal will increase each period.

44.

A debt instrument with no ready market is exchanged for property whose fair
market value is currently indeterminable. When such a transaction takes place
the present value of the debt instrument must be approximated using an
imputed interest rate.

45.

When a note payable is issued for property, goods, or services, the present value
of the note is measured by
the fair value of the property, goods, or services.
the market value of the note.

46.

When a note payable is exchanged for property, goods, or services, the stated
interest rate is presumed to be fair unless
no interest rate is stated.
the stated interest rate is unreasonable.
the stated face amount of the note is materially different from the current
cash sales price for similar items or from current market value of the
note.

48.

Which of the following is an example of "off-balance-sheet financing"?

2. Special purpose entity.
3. Operating leases.
All of these are examples of "off-balance-sheet financing."

49.

When a business enterprise enters into what is referred to as off-balance-sheet

financing, the company

Long-term debt that matures within one year and is to be converted into stock
should be reported
as noncurrent and accompanied with a note explaining the method to be
used in its liquidation.

In a troubled debt restructuring in which the debt is continued with modified terms
and the carrying amount of the debt is less than the total future cash flows,
a new effective-interest rate must be computed.

*56.

A troubled debt restructuring will generally result in a

gain by the debtor and a loss by the creditor.

*57.

In a troubled debt restructuring in which the debt is settled by a transfer of assets

with a fair market value less than the carrying amount of the debt, the debtor
would recognize
a gain on the settlement.

*58.

In a troubled debt restructuring in which the debt is continued with modified

terms, a gain should be recognized at the date of restructure, but no interest
expense should be recognized over the remaining life of the debt, whenever the
carrying amount of the pre-restructure debt is greater than the total future
cash flows.

*59.

In a troubled debt restructuring in which the debt is continued with modified terms
and the carrying amount of the debt is less than the total future cash flows, the
creditor should
calculate its loss using the historical effective rate of the loan.

A corporation called an outstanding bond obligation four years before maturity. At

that time there was an unamortized discount of $300,000. To extinguish this debt,
the company had to pay a call premium of $100,000. Ignoring income tax
considerations, how should these amounts be treated for accounting purposes?
Charge $400,000 to a loss in the year of extinguishment.
$300,000 + $100,000 = $400,000

The 12% bonds payable of Nyman Co. had a carrying amount of $832,000 on
December 31, 2010. The bonds, which had a face value of $800,000, were issued
at a premium to yield 10%. Nyman uses the effective-interest method of
amortization. Interest is paid on June 30 and December 31. On June 30, 2011,
several years before their maturity, Nyman retired the bonds at 104 plus accrued
interest. The loss on retirement, ignoring taxes, is
$6,400.
$832,000 [($800,000 .06) ($832,000 .05)] = $825,600 (CV of bonds)
($800,000 1.04) $825,600 = $6,400

used for discounts and premiums. On September 1, 2012, $6,000,000 of the
bonds are called at 102 plus accrued interest. What gain or loss would be
recognized on the called bonds on September 1, 2012?
$272,000 loss
{$9,600,000 + [$400,000 (3 2/3 10)]} .60 = $5,848,000

$6,120,000 $5,848,000 = $272,000.

A ten-year bond was issued in 2009 at a discount with a call provision to retire
the bonds. When the bond issuer exercised the call provision on an interest date
in 2011, the carrying amount of the bond was less than the call price. The amount
of bond liability removed from the accounts in 2011 should have equaled the
face amount less unamortized discount.
