    Journalizing Bonds
    Any help on journalizing the following entries would be very much appreciated!! More than anything, I need to know how to arrive at the correct answers. Even a little assistance would be extremely helpful.

    October 1: Retirement of bonds
    The company issued check 10500 and retired 􀀁 of its $40,000 of
    8%, A-Bonds at 102. Assume that the balance of Discount on ABond
    Payable and interest is up-to-date. At the Invoice Number,
    enter ABRET for A Bonds Retired.

    October 1: Issue bonds at a premium
    The company issued 10-year, $50,000, 6% B-Bonds at a selling
    price of 103. At the Invoice Number, enter BBOND for B Bonds.
    These bonds will sell at 103% of their par value.

    October 1: Issue bonds at a premium
    The company issued 10-year, $30,000 of 6%, B-Bonds, dated
    October 1. On this date, the market rate of interest for this type of
    bond was five (5) percent. At the invoice number enter BBOND
    for B Bonds.

    October 1: Issue bonds at a discount
    Bus-Way, Incorporated, 20-year, $30,000 of 6%, C-Bonds, dated
    October 1. On October 1, the market rate of interest for this type
    of bond was eight (8) percent. If necessary, round the
    calculation to the nearest dollar. At the Invoice Number, enter
    CBOND for C bonds.

    October 4: Mortgage notes
    Issued check number 10501 to payoff the mortgage note balance of
    $10,000, plus interest of $2,300. At the Invoice Number, enter
    MNOTE for mortgage note.

    October 8: Convertible bonds exchanged for common stock
    The holders of $20,000 of A-Bonds, which are convertible to 3,500
    shares of $5-par common stock per bond, have elected to convert
    their bonds. Assume the Discount on A-Bonds Payable is up-todate.
    The current market price of the common stock is $7 per
    share. At the Invoice Number, enter ABCON for A bonds
    converted.

    October 15: Issuing a mortgage note
    The construction of the new office building has been completed on
    land the company owns and is adjacent to the current office
    building. The contractor is transferring ownership to the company.
    This transfer requires issuing a mortgage note for $250,000 to
    Construction Financial. At the Invoice Number, enter MNOTE.

    October 25: Paying for financial services
    Check number 10502 was issued to Financial Accommodators for
    $3,000 for services performed during the bond and mortgage note
    transactions from October 1 to October 15. At the Invoice number,
    enter PFEES.

    October 31: Issue bonds at a premium between interest periods
    The company issued 10-year, $30,000, 6%, B-Bonds, dated
    October 1, at a selling price of 101. At the Invoice Number, enter
    BBOND. Do not forget to accrue interest for October.

    October 31: Amortizing bond discount
    Record the payment of the interest expense and the straight-line
    amortization of the Discount on C-Bonds Payable for the month of
    October. Check Number 10503 and Invoice Number CDISC.

    October 31: Payments on an installment note
    Last year, on October 31, the company is issued a $12,000
    installment note payable. The interest rate on the note 5% and the
    note is to be paid over 5 equal annual installments that include
    interest on the unpaid balance. Use the Present Value Table for
    an Ordinary Annuity and determine the amount of the
    installment payments. Find the future value factor for 5 time
    periods at 5%. Divide the face value of the installment note by this
    factor. The result is the amount of the installment payments that
    include interest on the unpaid balance. Subtract the interest of
    $600 (=$12,000 x 0.05) from the result to determine the amount of
    the reduction on the principle of the installment note. Record this
    transaction as a compound entry. Check Number 10505, Invoice
    Number INPAY.

    Jazzy40, you need to start your own thread with your question instead of tagging onto someone else's. (Especially a year-old thread.)

    You also need to check out the guidelines for posting homework questions which are at the top of this forum in red.
