Mini Case #5
On January 1, 2021, The Three Brothers Inc. purchased bonds with a face value of $2 million and a
coupon rate of 7%. The bonds mature in 10 years and pays coupons annually on December 31 of each
year. The market rate of interest on January 1, 2021 for bonds of this type was 8.5%. The Three
Brothers Inc. closes its book on December 31, and the bonds are considered Available for Sale (AFS).
Ignore taxes.

Recall from Mini Case #4: Interest income for a fixed-rate instrument is calculated using the amortized
cost of the security and the market yield at acquisition, not its current fair value and current market
yield.

1. At what price were the bonds issued?


$1,803,160

2. Using the effective interest method, prepare an amortization schedule in Excel that includes the
interest income, amortization, and bond carrying value for the life of the bond.

3. Assume the credit risk of the bonds stays constant and interest rates do not change during
2021. Record all the necessary entries for the bonds during 2021.

2021/01/01
Bonds Receivable 1,803,160
Cash 1,803,160

2021/12/31
Cash 140,000
Bonds Receivable 13,269
Interest Income 153,269
4. Now assume the credit risk of the bonds stays the same but at the end of 2021, the market rate
of interest for bonds of this type changes to 9%. Using Excel, estimate the fair value of the
bonds on 12/31/2021. Also use Excel to prepare a new amortization schedule based on the new
fair value.

6. Assume the credit risk of the bonds stays constant and interest rates do not change during
