10. Moore Inc. manufactures cycling equipment. Recently, the company has requested construction of a new
plant to meet the increasing demand for the company’s bikes. After a careful evaluation of the request, the
board of directors has decided to raise funds for the new plant by issuing $3,000,000 of $1,000 11% term
corporate bonds on March 1, 2013, due on March 1, 2028, with interest payable each March 1 and
September 1. At the time of issuance, the market interest rate for similar financial instruments is 10%.
Determine the sales price of the bonds.
Bond Overview:
When a company issues bonds, it is borrowing money from multiple sources instead of going to
the bank and borrowing the full amount. Moore will pay bondholders interest during the time the
money is borrowed, then Moore will repay the face amount on the maturity date. For this
problem, Moore could go to the bank for $3,000,000. Instead, they are going to borrow $1,000
from 3,000 people ($3,000,000 / $1,000 bond = 3,000).

Break down the different parts of the problem:

Interest will be paid to bondholders based on the stated rate of 11%. Each time Moore pays
interest, they will pay 5.5% * $3,000,000 = $165,000. Since we are making semi-annual payments,
we take the annual rate of 11% and divide it by 2. This is the payment used to value the bonds.
PMT

Payments will be made twice a year for 15 years. So there will be 30 total interest payments. N

When the bonds come due, Moore will repay the face amount of $3,000,000. FV

When the bonds are valued, we use the market rate. Since the market rate is 10%, we will divide
this in half since we are making semi-annual interest payments. 5% will be the I.

N: 30
I: 5
PMT: 165,000
FV: 3,000,000
PV: 3,230,586 – this is the price of the bond

Since the sales price of the bond is higher than the face amount of 3,000,000, the bond is issued at
a premium. Moore is paying an interest rate of 11% that is higher than the market rate of 10%.

11. Explain the differences between the direct write off method and the allowance method of recording

Allowance method: record bad debt expense as you go

12. Describe the balance sheet method for estimating uncollectible accounts.
Use the ending balance in accounts receivable to determine the amount that should be in the allowance
account. This is what we do when we review an AR aging schedule.

13. Describe the income statement method for estimating uncollectible accounts.
Record bad debt expense as a percentage of each sale.
Most companies use a combination of the income statement method and the balance sheet method. You
can accrue bad debt expense using the income statement method as each month. Then at the end of the
quarter/year, you can adjust the allowance based on the aging schedule.

14.
What is the total amount owed to Datema as of September 30, 2020?
$89,863
How much does Datema expect to collect from customers as of September 30, 2020?
$71,222
How would Accounts Receivable be presented on the September 30, 2020 balance sheet?

Accounts Receivable (net of $18,641 allowance for uncollectible accounts) . . . . . $71,222

Datema records bad debt expense at the end of each quarter when financial statements are prepared. If the June
30, 2020 balance in Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts was $15,500, what amount of bad debt expense
would be recorded for the third quarter?

Beginning Allowance: 15,500


Bad Debt Expense 3,141
Desired Ending Balance: 18,641

This assumes that there are no uncollectible accounts written off during the third quarter.

Review the journal entry to record bad debt expense

Bad Debt Expense 3,141


Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts 3,141
