    Given:

    issued 10%, $400,000, 10-year bonds for $385,000 on June 30, 2016

    debt issue costs were $1,500.

    interest is paid semiannually on December 31 and June 30

    one year from the issue date (july 1, 2017), the corporation exercised its call privilege and retired the bonds for $395,000

    the corporation uses the straight-line method both to determine interest expense and to amortize debt issue costs.

    Journal entries:

    Debit Credit

    June 30, 2016 Cash 383,500

    Bonds payable 383,500

    Dec. 31, 2016 Interest expense 20,825

    Bonds payable 825

    Cash 20,000

    June 30, 2017 Interest expense 20,825

    Bonds payable 825

    Cash 20,000

    June 30, 2017 Bonds payable 385,150

    Loss on early extinguishment 9,850

    Cash 395,000

    *

    Interest is computed by: 400,000 * 10% = 40,000 per annum

    40,000 / 2 = 20,000 per semi-annual. Every Dec. 31 and June 30

    400,000 - 385,000 = 15,000 discount

    15,000 discount + 1,500 debt issue cost = 16,500

    16,500 * 10% = 1,650 amortization per annum

    1,650 / 2 = 825 amortization per semi-annual

    Bonds payable total = 383,500 + 825 + 825 = 385,150

    Loss on early extinguishment = 395,000 - 385,150 = 9,850
