Journals required:
On January 1, 2015, Shea Company issues 700 bonds, 15 years (1000 par value bonds at 97) with a coupon rate of 6% and maturing in 2030. The straight line method is used to amortize any bond discount or premium on a semi-annual basis. Be sure to label the discount or premium as: discount on bonds within long-term liability or premium on bonds within long-term liability (the discount r premium in the system relates to the sale of inventory and does not apply here). Also label to cash inflow and outflows from the bonds including interest payments as: Cash, Bonds- within the bank and checking account. Do not forget the journals required every six months.
Two years later, on January 1, 2017, Shea retires 20% of these bonds by buying them on the open market at 104 (or $1040 a bond). All interest and amortization is accounted for by two separate journal entries for each and paid through December 31, 2016, the day before the purchase is to occur. Purchase these bonds with Cash, Bonds within the bank and checking account
