    MONTY

    cash 216,000

    bond payable 216,000

    interest expense 4,320

    cash 4,320

    interest expense 4,320

    interest payable 4,320

    Flounder

    cash 178,080

    bond payable 168,000

    interest payable 10,080

    interest payable 10,080

    cash 10,080

    interest expense 10,080

    interest payable 10,080

    Explanation:

    Monty

    issuance will receive the same amount as face value, as it was issued at par

    July 1st payment: 216,000 x 8%/4 = 4,320

    we divide by 4 as the payment are quarterly and there are 4 quarter per year

    we recognize this interest expense and pay it.

    accrued interest at December 31th:

    we will recognize the interest accrued form october 1st to december 31th

    we put a payable account as there is no cash payment

    Flounder

    issuance will receive the same amount as face value, and the interest accrued from Jan 1st to June 30th as the bonds were issued with delay

    168,00 x 12%/2 = 10,080 interest payable

    (the payment are semiannually so we split the rate in two)

    The sum of these payable and the face value will be the cash proceeds to Flounder

    july 1st payment

    we "pay" the interest agains the payable account

    accrued interest at December 31th:

    168,00 x 12%/2 = 10,080 interest expense

    we will recognize the nterest accrued form July 1st to december 31th

    we put a payable account as there is no cash payment
