Summary of debt investment (Maybe better to create this in PDF format) 1. Excess cash is invested outside the business to attract a higher rate of return than lying unused in the business. 2. The cash can be invested in the form of debt or equity. Debt investments expect the loan to be repaid with interest. Equity is in the form of ownership with the expectation of sharing in the profits and/or making a profit on the principle amount invested. 3. Interest on loans and bonds do not always correspond to the date in which they are earned but must still be recognized as earned revenue. 4. Brokerage fees can be capitalized or expensed depending on the material value of the fees. 5. When a bond is purchased between the interest payment dates, the interest that is not earned is paid to the seller when buying the bond. The amount is adjusted when the interest payment is made.
