Bond Liabilities • Bonds involve the long-term borrowing of a large sum of money. • At maturity, the principal (or face value) is paid back as a lump sum. • Individual bonds are often denominated with a face value, of $1,000. • The Selling price of a bond is ‘stated’ as a percentage of its face value (e.g., a $1,000 face value bond selling at 96% would have a current selling price of $960)
Bond Liabilities • Bonds usually have periodic interest payments based on a stated rate of interest. • Interest is normally paid semiannually. • Cash Interest paid is computed as: Interest = Principal × Stated Rate × Time • Bond prices are usually quoted as a percentage of the face amount. For example, a $1,000 bond priced at 104 would sell for $1,040.
