Answer:
Interest expense to be recorded on Dec 31 2018= $8425
Explanation:
Lets first understand what adjusting entry is? Adjusting entries are entries passed at the reporting date in order to comply to the accruals concept of accounting. Accruals concept requires entities to record revenue and expenses in the period that they occur and should not wait until they are received or paid respectively. Revenues and expenses should be matched for the period and recorded.
Now that we have understood adjusting entry, lets calculate interest expense that should be recorded on December 31 2018. So Arch Services records interest payment on a semi-annul basis (i.e every 6 months). Now the bonds are issued on November (i.e two months to the reporting date), considering the accruals concept Arch Services will have to record interest for two months.
The interest expense is calculated as follows:
Annual Interest= $337000×15%
Annual Interest= $50550
Lets convert it into monthly basis as follows:
Monthly interest expense= $4212.5
Interest for two months would be = $4212.5×2
Interest expense to be recorded on Dec 31 2018= $8425
Answer:
16.7 percentage
Explanation:
bond price = $1000 - $100 = $900
fixed amount / bond price * 100 = IR
(150/900) * 100 = 16.7%
The reason for this equation is that interest rate is the amount a lender charges for the use of assets expressed as a percentage of the principal.
originally the price if the bond is $1000 which later falls by $100, so that leaves us to a $900 bond rate.
The interest rate is typically noted on a annual basis known as the annual percentage rate (APR).
