Journal Entries and Accounting Impact


CFA Level 1 - Liabilities

We will now discuss the journal entries and accounting impact of bonds issued at par, a premium, or a discount.

The market value of a bond is calculated as follows:

Formula 9.1


Market value of a bond = PV of coupon payments + PV of principal


Par-value bonds
Company ABC issues a $1m bond that will pay a 10% semiannual (coupon) for five years and similar bonds are paying 10%.

Market value = $1m
Face value or principal or book value = $1m





Bond issued at a Premium

Company ABC issues a $1m bond that will pay a 11% semiannual (coupon) for five years and similar bonds are paying 10%. Bond premiums are amortized using straight-line depreciation.




Bond issued at a Discount

Company ABC issues a $1m bond that will pay a 9% semiannual (coupon) for five years and similar bonds are paying 10%. Bond discounts are amortized using staring-line depreciation.
