On January 1, 2021, Blair Company sold $800,000 of 10% ten-year bonds. Interest is payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds were sold for $708,000, priced to yield 12%. Blair records interest at the effective rate. Blair should report bond interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 in the amount of:

$42,480

Explanation:

Given that,

Value of bonds = $800,000

Interest rate = 10%

Selling price of bond (Book value) = $708,000

Priced to yield = 12%

The semi-annual yield is calculated as follows:

= 12% / 2 (because the interest is payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31)

= 6%

Therefore, the semi-annual bond interest expense:

= Selling price of bond × semi-annual yield

= $708,000 × 6%

= $42,480

Hence, the Blair should report bond interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 in the amount of $42,480.

But the actual cash paid for the interest expense will be:

= (Value of bonds × Interest rate on bonds)

= [$800,000 × (10%/2)]

= $800,000 × 5%

= $40,000

So, the amortization for bond discount is the difference between actual cash paid and bond interest expense:

= $42,480 - $40,000

= $2,480
