Instructions
Bonds payable with a par value of
$900,000, which are dated January 1, 2014, are sold at 106 plus accrued
interest. They are coupon bonds, bear interest at 12% (payable annually at
January 1), and mature January 1, 2024. (Use interest expense account for
accrued interest.) Adjusting entries are made to record the accrued interest on
the bonds, and the amortiza- tion of the proper amount of premium. (Use
straight-line amortization.) Interest on the bonds is paid. Bonds with par
value of $360,000 are called at 102 plus accrued interest, and redeemed. (Bond
premium is to be amortized only at the end of each year.) Adjusting entries are
made to record the accrued interest on the bonds, and the proper amount of
premium amortized.
(Round to two decimal places.)
Prepare journal entries for the
transactions above.

P14-7 (Entries for Life Cycle of
Bonds) On April 1, 2014, Seminole Company sold 15,000 of its 11%, 15-year,
$1,000 face value bonds at 97. Interest payment dates are April 1 and October
1, and the company uses the straight-line method of bond discount amortization.
On March 1, 2015, Seminole took advantage of favorable prices of its stock to
extinguish 6,000 of the bonds by issuing 200,000 shares of its $10 par value
common stock. At this time, the accrued interest was paid in cash. The
company’s stock was selling for $31 per share on March 1, 2015.
