The Nature of Long-Term Debt
Liabilities signify
creditors’ interest in a
company’s assets.
A note payable and note
receivable are two sides of
the same coin.
Periodic interest is the
effective interest rate times
the amount of the debt
outstanding during the period.
Debt is reported at its present
value
A bond payable divides a
large liability into many
smaller liabilities.
Corporations issuing bonds are
obligated to repay a stated
amount at a specified maturity
date and period interest between
the issue date.

The Bond Indenture
Debenture Bond
secured by the “full faith
and credit” of company.
Mortgage Bond secured
by lien on specific real
estate owned by the
issuer.
The specific promises made to bondholders are
described in a document called a bond indenture.
Coupon Bond pays
interest when investor
submits attached
coupon.
Callable Bond allows
company to buy back
outstanding bonds
prior to maturity.

Recording Bonds at Issuance
On January 1, 2013, Masterwear Industries issued $700,000 of 12%
bonds. Interest of $42,000 is payable semiannually on June 30 and
December 31. The bonds mature in three years [an unrealistically
short maturity to shorten the illustration]. The entire bond issue was
sold in a private placement to United Intergroup, Inc., at face amount.

Determining Interest –
Effective Interest Method
14-9
Interest accrues on an outstanding debt at a constant percentage of
the debt each period. Interest each period is recorded as the
effective market rate of interest multiplied by the outstanding balance
of the debt (during the interest period).
Interest is recorded as expense to the issuer and revenue to the
investor. For the first six-month interest period the amount is
calculated as follows:
$666,633
Outstanding Balance
×
(14% ÷ 2)
Effective Rate
=
$46,664
Effective Interest
The bond indenture calls for semiannual interest payments of only
$42,000 – the stated rate (6%) times the face value of $700,000.
The difference ($4,664) increases the liability and is reflected as a
reduction in the discount (a contra-liability account).
14-10
Recording Interest Expense
The effective interest is calculated each period as the market rate
times the amount of the debt outstanding during the interest period.

14-22
U. S. GAAP vs. IFRS
Debt issue costs (called transaction costs under IFRS)
are accounted for differently by U.S. GAAP and IFRS.
•
Debt issue costs are recorded
separately as an asset.


•
Amortized over the term to
maturity.
“Transaction costs” reduce the
recorded amount of the debt.
The cost of these services reduces
the net cash the issuing company
receives and the amount recorded
for the debt.
Unless the recorded amount of the debt is reduced by the
transaction costs, the higher effective interest rate is not
reflected in a higher recorded interest expense.

Skill Graphics purchased a package labeling machine from Hughes–
Barker Corporation by issuing a 12%, $700,000, 3-year note that
requires interest to be paid semiannually. The machine could have
been purchased at a cash price of $666,633. The cash price implies an
annual market rate of interest of 14%. That is, 7% is the semiannual
discount rate that yields a present value of $666,633 for the note’s cash
flows (interest plus principal) computed as follows:
Present value of an ordinary annuity of $1: n=6, i=7%

Convertible Bonds
Some bonds may be converted into common stock
at the option of the holder. When bonds are
converted the issuer (1) updates interest expense
and (2) amortization of discount or premium to
the date of conversion. The bonds are reduced
and shares of common stock are increased.

Convertible Bonds
On January 1, 2013, HTL Manufacturers issued
$100,000,000 of 8% convertible debentures due 2033 at 103
(103% of face value). The bonds are convertible at the option
of the holder into $1 par common stock at a conversion ratio
of 40 shares per $1,000 bond. HTL recently issued

Induced Conversion
Companies sometimes try to
induce conversion. The
motivation might be to reduce
debt and become a better risk
to potential lenders or achieve
a lower debt-to-equity ratio.
When the specified call price is less than the
conversion value of the bonds (the market value
of the shares), calling the convertible bonds
provides bondholders with incentive to convert.

U.S. GAAP vs. IFRS

Under IFRS, unlike U.S. GAAP, convertible debt is divided into its liability and

 Compound instruments such as this one are separated into their liability and

$1,000 bond were 20 warrants. Each warrant permitted the
holder to buy one share of $1 par common stock at $25 per
share. Shortly after issuance, the warrants were listed on the

Option to Report Liabilities at Fair Value
Companies have the option to value some or all of
their financial assets and liabilities at fair value.
The same market forces
that influence the fair
value of an investment
in debt securities
(interest rates,
economic conditions,
risk, etc.) influence the
fair value of liabilities.
14-44
U. S. GAAP vs. IFRS
International accounting standards are more restrictive
than U.S. standards for determining when firms are
allowed to elect the fair value option.
 The fair value option may be
elected by the firm.
 Although U.S. GAAP guidance
indicates that the intent of the fair
value option under U.S. GAAP is
to address these sorts of
circumstances, it does not
require that those circumstances
exist.

Companies may only elect the fair
value option when
1.
2.
When a group of financial assets
or liabilities is managed and its
performance is evaluated on a
fair value basis, or
If the fair value option reduces
“accounting mismatch.”

Under a proposed change in the way we account for financial assets and
liabilities, financial assets would be measured at (a) fair value with changes
reported in net income (FV-NI), (b) at fair value through Other Comprehensive
Income (FV-OCI), or (c) at amortized cost, the classification depending on the
assets’ characteristics and the company’s business strategy for holding the assets.
Most liabilities would be accounted for at amortized cost as described in this
chapter. The fair value option, though, would no longer be permitted except in
unique circumstances.
The proposed change is a result of a joint project on financial instruments by the
International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the FASB as part of a
broader goal of achieving a single set of high quality global accounting standards.
At the time this text is being written, a final standard is expected to be issued in
2012.
Appendix 14A:
Bonds Issued Between Interest Dates
Suppose a weak market caused a delay in selling the bonds until two
months after the bond date of January 1(four months before semiannual
interest was to be paid). In that case, the buyer would be asked to pay
the seller accrued interest for two months in addition to the price of
the bonds.
Masterwear was unable to sell $700,000 face amount of
bonds, dated January 1, and paying interest semiannually at
an annual rate of 12%. The bonds were eventually sold on
March 1. Let’s calculate the accrued interest.

Appendix 14B
Troubled Debt Restructuring
When changing the original terms of a debt agreement is
motivated by financial difficulties experienced by the debtor
(borrower), the new arrangement is referred to as a troubled
debt restructuring.
A troubled debt restructuring may be achieved in either of two
ways:
1. The debt may be settled at the time of the restructuring.
2. The debt may be continued, but with modified terms.

Debt Settled at Time of Restructuring
First Prudent Bank is holding a $30,000,000 note from the developer of some
property. The developer is in financial trouble and cannot pay the bank the
amount owed. The bank agrees to accept property with a fair value of
$20,000,000 in full settlement of the note. The property is carried on the books
of the developer at $17,000,000. Let’s look at the entries on the books of the
developer to record the settlement.

Debt is Continued, but with Modified
Terms
Let’s look at an example where the total cash payments are less than the
carrying amount of the debt. First Prudent Bank holds a $30,000,000 note from
a property developer. The note bears interest at 10%, and matures in two years.
The developer is in financial difficulty and the bank agrees to modify the terms
of the agreement as follows:
1. Forgive the interest accrued from last year of $3,000,000.
2. Reduce the remaining two interest payments to $2,000,000 each.
3. Reduce the principal amount to $25,000,000.

Debt is Continued, but with Modified

At the date of the new agreement, the following journal entry is
required:
Accrued interest payable .............................
Note payable …...........................................
Gain on debt restructuring ……….
3,000,000
1,000,000

The debit to notes payable is for the difference between the old face
amount of $30,000,000 and the total future cash payments of
$29,000,000
At each of the next two interest payments, we will make the
following entry:
Note payable ….........................................
