On January 1, 2019, a company issued $401,800 of 10-year, 12% bonds. The interest is payable semi-annually on June 30 and December 31. The issue price was $416,753 based on a 10% market interest rate. The effective-interest method of amortization is used.

Answer:

The book value of the bond liability as of June 30, 2019 is:

$401,800

Explanation:

The face value of the bond issued is $401,800

The issue price = $416,753

Bond premium = $14,953

This bond premium will be amortized for 10 years semi-annually using the effective-interest method.

However, as of June 30, 2019, no bond has been repaid, since its maturity is after 10 years.  Therefore, the liability on the bond remains the amount of the face value of the bond, which is $401,800.
