问题如下:
On 1 January 2010, Elegant Fragrances Company issues £1,000,000 face value, five-year bonds with annual interest payments of £55,000 to be paid each 31 December. The market interest rate is 6.0 percent. Using the effective interest rate method of amortisation, Elegant Fragrances is most likely to record:
选项:
A.an interest expense of £55,000 on its 2010 income statement.
B.a liability of £982,674 on the 31 December 2010 balance sheet.
C.a £58,736 cash outflow from operating activity on the 2010 statement of cash flows.
解释:
B is correct.
The bonds will be issued at a discount because the market interest rate is higher than the stated rate. Discounting the future payments to their present value indicates that at the time of issue, the company will record £978,938 as both a liability and a cash inflow from financing activities. Interest expense in 2010 is £58,736 (£978,938 times 6.0 percent). During the year, the company will pay cash of £55,000 related to the interest payment, but interest expense on the income statement will also reflect £3,736 related to amortization of the initial discount (£58,736 interest expense less the £55,000 interest payment). Thus, the value of the liability at 31 December 2010 will reflect the initial value (£978,938) plus the amortized discount (£3,736), for a total of £982,674. The cash outflow of £55,000 may be presented as either an operating or financing activity under IFRS.
想请问老师一下,这道题的思路是不是先比较coupon rate小于市场利率,得出是降价卖债券。再计算L是多少。
另外,选项B中说 本金+额外需要支付的本金利息 都是在B/S上。这不是一个5年的债券吗?为什么第一年年末就要把本金写上去呢?本金一般不都是作为零息债券在第五年年尾才支付吗?还是说从卖债券第一年开始,这笔本金就应该作为L计入B/S。谢谢!
