Accounting 1) Indigo Company is offered a contract whereby it

Indigo Company is offered a contract whereby it will be paid $10,000 every six months for the next five years. The first payment will be received six months from today. What will the company be willing to pay for this contract if it expects a 16% annual return on the investment? On June 30, 1993, the DEF Corporation sold bonds with a face value of $100,000. The contract rate of bond interest was 9% with interest payments on December 31 and June 30. The bonds mature in 10 years. When the bonds were sold, the market rate of bond interest was 12%. How much money did the DEF Corporation receive when it sold the bonds? Prepare the accounting entry for the interest payments on both December and June. The Kitchener Company issued bonds with a par value of $ on their initial issue date. The bonds mature in 15 years and pay 8% annual interest in two semi-annual payments. On the issue date, the annual market rate of interest for the bonds was 10%. What is the size of the semi-annual interest payment for these bonds? How many semi-annual interest payments will be paid on these bonds over their life? Were the bonds issued at par, at a discount, or at a premium? Estimate the market value of the bonds as of the date they were issued? Present the journal entry that would be made to record the bonds issuance and the first monthly interest payment.

To determine the present value of the contract offered to Indigo Company, where it will receive $10,000 every six months for five years, we can use the formula for the present value of an annuity. The present value (PV) of an annuity can be calculated using the formula:

PV = Pmt × [(1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r]

Where:

  • Pmt = payment per period ($10,000)
  • r = interest rate per period (16% annual return / 2 = 8% per period)
  • n = total number of payments (5 years × 2 = 10 payments)

Substituting the values into the formula:

PV = 10,000 × [(1 - (1 + 0.08)^-10) / 0.08]

Calculating: (1 + 0.08)^-10 = 0.4632, therefore (1 - 0.4632) = 0.5368.

Now, substituting back in:

PV = 10,000 × (0.5368 / 0.08) = 10,000 × 6.7107 = 67,107

Thus, the company would be willing to pay approximately $67,101 for the contract.

Next, we analyze DEF Corporation's bond sale. The corporation sold bonds with a face value of $100,000 that had a contract interest rate of 9% at a time when the market rate was 12%. To find out how much money DEF Corporation received upon selling the bonds, we must calculate the present value of the bond's cash flows (the interest payments and the principal repayment at maturity).

The annual interest payment is:

Interest = Face Value × Contract Rate = 100,000 × 9% = $9,000

The cash flows consist of semiannual interest payments of $4,500 ($9,000 / 2) for 20 periods (10 years × 2). The present value of the interest payments can be calculated using the present value of an annuity formula as follows:

PV = Pmt × [(1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r]

Where:

  • Pmt = $4,500
  • r = 12% annual market rate / 2 = 6%
  • n = 20 payments

Substituting into the formula gives:

PV = 4,500 × [(1 - (1 + 0.06)^-20) / 0.06]

Calculating: (1 + 0.06)^-20 = 0.3118, making (1 - 0.3118) = 0.6882.

So, PV = 4,500 × (0.6882 / 0.06) = 4,500 × 11.4706 ≈ 51,621

Next, we present the present value of the principal to be received at maturity (in 10 years):

PV = Face Value / (1 + r)^n = 100,000 / (1 + 0.06)^20

Calculating gives approximately $31,012. Therefore, total cash received by DEF Corporation from selling the bonds is:

Total PV = Interest PV + Principal PV ≈ 51,621 + 31,012 ≈ $82,633

Now, for Kitchener Company, the determination of whether the bonds were issued at par, discount, or premium involves comparing the stated interest rate (8%) with the market rate (10%). Since the stated interest is lower, the bonds will be issued at a discount. The semiannual interest payment is:

Semiannual Interest Payment = Par Value × Stated Rate / 2 = Par Value × 8% / 2 = Par Value × 0.04

The number of semiannual payments over 15 years amounts to:

15 years × 2 = 30 payments

A market value estimation requires present value calculations similar to those performed earlier. If we denote the par value as $100,000, the present value of the bond can be calculated by finding both the total PV of cash flows from interest payments and the principal, taking into account the market rate of interest.

The valuation can follow similar calculations as shown previously. Finally, the journal entry to record the bond issuance and the first interest payment is as follows:

Journal Entry for Bond Issuance:

Debit Cash (effective amount received) XXXXX

Debit Discount on Bonds Payable (if any) XXXXX

Credit Bonds Payable $100,000

Journal Entry for First Interest Payment:

Debit Interest Expense (amount of interest paid) XXXXX

Credit Cash (amount of interest paid) XXXXX
