    Journal entries for Deep discount bond
    Suppose deep discount bond purchased for Rs.1000 and at maturity after 10 years we received Rs 1500.
    We have booked difference amount of Rs1500-Rs1000 = Rs500 as interest accrued but not due for 10 years.

    Now after 5 years prematured at Rs 800.
    So we have loss of Rs.250 in interest already booked for five years and loss of Rs,200/- in basic amount i.e 1000-800

    Please give entries to be passed.

    You actually need to enter your books
    What actually happens.
    1) The Purchase.
    2) The Maturity.
    You need not bother as to what might
    Happen in the future.
    In this case, you book the purchase
    And subsequently you book the maturity.
    If the deal sustained a loss, you must bring this to account.
