Valuations of Bonds

Investors value a bond at the present value of its expected future cash flows, which consist of (1) interest, and (2) principal. Between the time the company sets the terms and the time it issues the bonds, the market conditions and the financial position of the issuing corporation may change significantly. Such changes affect the marketability of the bonds and thus their selling price.

Q. Why do companies report a gain or loss on the repurchase of their bonds (assuming the repurchase price is different form bond book value)?

A. Bonds are reported at historical cost, that is, the face amount plus (minus) unamortized premium (discount). The market price of the bonds varies inversely with the level of interest rates and fluctuates continuously. Differences between the market price of a bond and its carrying amount represent unrealized gains and losses. These unrealized gains (losses) are not reflected in the financial statements (although they are disclosed in the footnotes). They must be recognized upon repurchase of the bonds, the point at which they become "realized." If the bonds are refunded (that is, replaced with new bonds reflecting current market values and interest rates), the gain (or loss) that is recognized in the current period will be offset by correspondingly higher (lower) interest payments in the future. The present value of the future interest payments, along with the present value of the difference between the face amount of the new bond and the former face amount, exactly offset the reported gain (loss).

Q. How should premium or discount non-bonds payable be presented on the balance sheet?

A. Bonds payable is presented in the balance sheet net of any discount or plus any premium

Q. How does issuing a bond at a premium or discount affect the bond's effective interest rate via-a-vis the coupon (stated) rate?

A. Bonds sold at face (par) value earn an effective interest rate equal to the bonds' coupon rate. Bonds are sold at a discount when the effective interest rate is higher than the coupon rate. Bonds are sold at a premium when the effective interest rate is lower than the coupon rate.

Q. What is the difference between a bond couple rate and its market interest rate (yield)

A. The coupon rate is the rate specified on the face of the bond. It is used to compute the amount of cash interest paid to the bond holder. The market rate is the rate of return expected by investors that purchase the bonds. The market rate determines the market price of the bond. It incorporates expectations about the relative riskiness of the borrower and the rate of inflation. In general, there is an inverse relation between the bond's market rate and the bond's market price.

Q. Regardless of whether premium or discount is involved, what generalization can be made about the change in the book value of bonds payable during the period in which they are outstanding?

A. When the bonds mature, the book value of the bonds will be equal to the face value. Over the life of the bonds, the change in the book value of the bonds will be equal to face value less the market value at the time that the bonds are issued.

Q. If the effective interest amortization method is used for bonds payable, how does the periodic interest expense change over the life of the bonds when they are issued (a) at a discount and (b) at a premium?

A. When the effective interest method is used to amortize a bond discount or premium, the effective rate is multiplied by the net balance in bonds payable (bonds payable plus/minus the premium or discount). If the bond is issued at a discount, the balance increases over the life of the bond; the interest expense will increase as the balance increases. If the bond is issued at a premium, the balance decreases over the life of the bond; the interest expense will decrease as the balance decreases.

How are Bonds Payable Accounted For?

At time of issuance, bonds are recorded at fair value: This results in either a discount or premium if the market rate of interest is different from the stated (nominal) rate After issuance, the bond is accounted for at amortized cost 1) The premium or discount is amortized as part of interest expense 2) Companies do have an option to account for the bond at fair value over the life of the bond When a bond is extinguished before maturity, a gain or loss is recorded in the income statement

Explain how discount/Premium is reported on Balance Sheet

Bonds payable are reported net of any discount or premium & Discount/premium is a liability valuation account Amortizing the discount or premium • A premium or discount is considered an adjustment to the nominal interest rate so that it reflects the actual market rate • The preferred method of amortizing the discount/premium is called the effective-interest method
