NON-CURRENT LIABILITIES
In many instances, management and shareholders favor debt financing over equity financing
for the following reasons:
1. Present owners remain in control of the corporation.
2. Interest incurred is a deductible expense in arriving at taxable income.
3. Charge for interest may be less than the amount of dividends.
Disadvantages: Debt Financing
1. Debtor must have adequate security offered to creditors.
2. Interests are required to be paid periodically regardless of performance.
3. If unpaid, creditors may bring legal action.
BONDS PAYABLE
Normally, corporations sell all of its bonds to underwriter, which resells the bond to the investing
public.
Bond Indenture – contract between the issuing corporation and the bondholder.
Types of Bonds:
A. Term Bonds – bonds that mature on a single date.
B. Serial Bonds – bonds that mature in installments. Also, both nominal and effective interest
decreases.
C. Secure Bonds – protected by the pledge of a specific asset. (Ex: Real Estate Mortgage Bond,
Collateral Trust Bond (for investments), Chattel Mortgage Bond (for movable property)
D. Unsecured Bonds (Debentures) – backed only by the issuer’s general favorable credit
standing.
E. Registered Bonds – bondholders’ names are registered in the books and interest checks are
mailed to bondholders of record.
F. Bearer Bonds (Coupon Bonds) – accompanied by coupons representing periodic interest
payments.
G. Callable or Redeemable Bonds – give the debtor the right to call or retrieve bonds before
maturity date.
H. Convertible Bonds – give the bondholders the right to exchange the bond into a specified
or predetermined number of shares of stock.
I. Zero-interest Bonds (Deep-discount Bonds) – issued at significantly lower than their face.
Initially recognized at the date of actual issue: At Discounted Value (or Net Proceeds)
Contract Rate/Stated Rate/Nominal Rate – rate stated on the face of the bonds
Market Rate/Yield/Effective Interest Rate – rate investors are willing to accept.
o Nominal Rate = Effective Rate (Sale at Face Value)
o Nominal Rate > or < Effective Rate (Sale at a Premium or Discount)
Journal Entry: Cash xx
Discount on Bonds Payable xx
Bonds Payable xx
Premium on Bonds Payable xx
Market prices of Bonds:
1. Quoted as a percentage of face value
2. Discounting the bonds maturity value and all periodic interest payments at the market rate
Alternative Computation of Premium or Discount:
Premium/Discount = Difference in interest rates x Face Value x PV factor of ordinary annuity
Accrued interest on bonds issued
Journal Entry:
At Issuance Date During Payment of Interest
Cash xx Interest Expense xx
Bonds Payable xx Cash xx
Interest Expense xx
Bond Issue Costs
- Part of the initial carrying amount of the bond
- Reduces net proceeds
- Requires recomputation of the yield or effective interest rate
(Note: The higher the yield, the lower the present value)
Journal Entry: Cash xx Premium on B/P xx
Bonds Payable xx Cash xx
Premium on B/P xx
Subsequent Measurement: At Amortized Cost
Amortized Cost = Cost at Initial Recognition – Principal Repayments ± Cumulative Amortization
Effective Interest Method
- Increasing premium or discount amortization per period
- Decreasing interest expense per period (for those bonds issued at a premium)
- Increasing interest expense per period (for those bonds issued at a discount)
Retirement of bonds prior to maturity date
- Retirement Price > or < Carrying Value of Bonds = Loss or Gain taken to P/L
Note: If the retirement price is given using a quoted price, it is only for the payment of principal
(hence, exclusive of accrued interest, if any).
Bond Refunding
- Replacement of an outstanding bonds payable with a new one
- Recognize gain or loss on the retirement of the original bonds payable and record the new
issue as a separate borrowing transaction
Bonds with Non-detachable Share Warrants Issued
- Right to acquire a specific number of ordinary shares at a given price within a certain time
period
- (Residual Approach) Total Issue Price – Market Price of Bonds without Warrants1 = Price
assigned to the Warrants
Journal Entry:
At Issuance Date Upon Exercise of Warrants
Cash xx Bonds Payable xx
Discount of Bonds Payable xx Share Warrants Outstanding xx
Bonds Payable xx Ordinary Share Capital xx
Share Warrants Outstanding xx Share Premium - Ordinary xx
Convertible Bonds2
- Right to exchange their bondholding into ordinary shares or other securities within a specific
period of time
- (Residual Approach) Total Proceeds – Market Value of Bonds without Conversion Privilege =
Paid in Capital arising from Bond Conversion Privilege
Journal Entry:
At Issuance Date Upon Conversion of Bonds
1 If the market price is not readily determinable, discount the maturity value and periodic interest.
2 When conversion takes place between interest payment dates, any accrued interest should be paid in cash.

Discount of Bonds Payable xx Share Premium – BCP xx
