Show all formulas.

Required:

1. Using Excel, determine the proceeds of the bond sale on 1/1/20.

2. Using the present value of $1 table (found in Appendix E of your text or on-line) and the present value of an ordinary annuity of $1 table (found in Appendix E of your text or on-line), what factors would you use to calculate the present value of the face value of the bond and the coupon payments? For your own benefit, you may want to demonstrate that the price of the bonds is the same using the factors from the table that you got in Excel. You will find a difference due to rounding.

3. Did this bond sell at a premium or discount?

4. Using Excel, prepare a seven-year bond amortization schedule for these bonds. There are examples in your notes and posted on D2L. Use formulas and reference cells in Excel to show how you calculate your numbers.

5. Prepare journal entries to record (1) the initial sale of the bonds on January 1, 2020, (2) the interest payment for the period ended December 31, 2020 and, (3) the final interest and face value payment at maturity on December 31, 2026.

6. Show how the balance sheet would report the bond liability and related premium/discount on December 31, 2021.
