    1. Total of amortisation for 3 years = 16+17+19 = 52

    Bonds issue price = 1000 - 52 = $948

    2.

    Bond is sold at discount.

    Amount of discount = Amount of amortisation over 3 years

    = $52

    3.

    Amount to be shown in balancesheet will be inclusive of the amortisation charge for the year

    Bonds payable at the end of Year 1 = 948 + 16 = 964

    Bonds payable at the end of Year 2 = 964 + 17 = 981

    4.

    a,

    $60 is the amount of interest paid per annum. This is calulated on the facevalue of bond

    $1,000x x6% = %60

    b,

    $77 is the interest expense for Year 2.

    This is sum of Interest paid and Amortisation charge for the year

    = 60 + 17 = 77

    c,

    $17 is the amortization expence for Year 2

    Opening balance of Bonds payable for Year 2 = $964

    Market rate of interest = 8%

    Interest charge for Year 2 = $77

    Cash paid as interest = $60

    Hence amortisaton charge for Year 2 = Interest expense - Interest paid = $77 - $60 = $17

    d,

    $981 is the balnce of balance of bonds payble after Year 2

    Balance for Year 2 = Opening balance payable + Amortisation expence for the Year (arived from Step 4c above) = $964 + $17

    = $981
