On April 1, 2006 a company issued $500,000, 9% bonds for $537,868 including accrued interest. Interest is payable annually on Jan 1, and bonds mature on Jan 1, 2016

On July 1, 2008 a company retired $150,000 of the bonds at 102 plus accrued interest. The company uses straight-line amortization.

On April 1, 2006 I computed the interest for Jan 1 - April 1 2006 as $11,250 and I computed the Premium on Bonds Payable at $26,618.

Question: How do compute the retirement of the bonds? I cannot figure out what to do next. Please help: Thanks!!

Here is what I did, though I am not sure if it is correct. :confused:

Acrued Interest
(500,000*9%*3/12) 11,250 511,250

Plzzzzzzzz from where did you get this question because this question in my midterm exam

Email me [email protected]

luai, we aren't here to do your exams for you! (Also, didn't anyone ever tell you not to just put your email up some place public like this.)

If you both have the same question, it likely could have come from the test bank for the textbook. In which case, it makes me wonder if pready's question is also from an exam??

Does anyone have a sense of honor anymore?

Thanks for your comment but from where I can get this test banks?

Only the instructors can get the test banks.

Batumi, first read the guidelines for posting homework problems:
Ask Me Help Desk - Announcements in Forum : Homework Help
I'm not going to just tell you which answer to pick.

Second, you just tacked this onto a year-old thread. Just wasted a bit of time there reading through the whole thread just to find some totally different question at the bottom.

@morgaine300

You seem to be arrogant and does not have any honour at all in answering and replying people here.

You either answer the question or be silent. No need to put yourself in deep . Please find yourself a job and try to respect people thoughts.

Do not take that personally, but it is the truth.
