Understanding the Business The mixture of debt and equity used to finance a company s operations is called the capital structure: Debt - funds from creditors Equity - funds from owners Slide 3
Characteristics of Bonds Payable Advantages of bonds: Stockholders maintain control because bonds are debt, not equity. Interest expense is tax deductible. The impact on earnings is positive because money can often be borrowed at a low interest rate and invested at a higher interest rate. Slide 4
Characteristics of Bonds Payable Disadvantages of bonds: Risk of bankruptcy exists because the interest and debt must be paid back as scheduled or creditors will force legal action. Negative impact on cash flows exists because interest and principal must be repaid in the future. Slide 5

Bond Classifications An indenture is a bond contract that specifies the legal provisions of a bond issue. Debenture bonds Not secured with the pledge of a specific asset. Callable bonds May be retired and repaid (called) at any time at the option of the issuer. Convertible bonds May be exchanged for other securities of the issuer (usually shares of common stock) at the option of the bondholder. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 8
Characteristics of Bonds Payable When issuing bonds, potential buyers of the bonds are given a prospectus. The prospectus describes the company, the bonds, and how the proceeds of the bonds will be used. The trustee makes sure the issuer fulfills all of the provisions of the bond indenture. Slide 9

Reporting Bond Transactions Present Value of the Principal (a single payment) + Present Value of the Interest Payments (an annuity) = Issue Price of the Bond Interest Rates Bond Price Accounting for the Difference Stated Market Bond Par Value There is no difference = = Rate Rate Price of the Bond to account for. Stated < Market Bond < Par Value The difference is accounted Rate Rate Price of the Bond for as a bond discount. Stated > Market Bond > Par Value The difference is accounted Rate Rate Price of the Bond for as a bond premium. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 11
Bonds Issued at Par On January 1, 2009, Harrah s issues $100,000 in bonds having a stated rate of 10% annually. The bonds mature in 10 years and interest is paid semiannually.

Times Interest Earned Times Interest Earned = Net income + Interest expense + Income tax expense Interest expense The ratio shows the amount of resources generated for each dollar of interest expense. In general, a high ratio is viewed more favorable than a low ratio. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 14
Bonds Issued at Discount On January 1, 2009, Harrah s issues $100,000 in bonds having a stated rate of 10% annually. The bonds mature in 10 years (Dec. 31, 2018) and interest is paid semiannually. The market rate is 12% annually. This bond is issued at a discount. Interest Bond Accounting for Rates Price the Difference Stated < Market Bond < Par Value The difference is accounted Rate Rate Price of the Bond for as a bond discount. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 15
Bonds Issued at Discount The issue price of a bond is composed of the present value of two items: Principal (a single amount) Interest (an annuity) First, let s compute the present value of the principal. Market rate of 12% 2 interest periods per year = 6% Use the present value of a single amount table to find the appropriate factor. Bond term of 10 years 2 periods per year = 20 periods Present Value Single Amount = Principal Factor (i=6.0%, n=20) $ 31,180 = $ 100,000 0.3118 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 16
Bonds Issued at Discount The issue price of a bond is composed of the present value of two items: Principal (a single amount) Interest (an annuity) Now, let s compute the present value of the interest. Market rate of 12% 2 interest periods per year = 6% Use the present value of an annuity table to find the appropriate factor. Bond term of 10 years 2 periods per year = 20 periods Present Value Annuity = Payment Factor (i=6.0%, n=20) $ 57,350 = $ 5,000 11.4699 McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 17
Bonds Issued at Discount The issue price of a bond is composed of the present value of two items: Principal (a single amount) Interest (an annuity) Finally, we can determine the issue price of the bond. $ 31,180 Present Value of the Principal + 57,350 Present Value of the Interest = $ 88,530 Present Value of the Bonds The $88,530 is less than the face amount of $100,000, so the bonds are issued at a discount of $11,470.

Bonds Issued at Discount Harrah's Partial Balance Sheet At January 1, 2009 Long-Term Liabilities Bonds Payable, 10% $ 100,000 Due Dec. 31, 2018 Less: Bond Discount (11,470) Total L-T Liabilities $ 88,530 The discount will be amortized over the 10- year life of the bonds. Two methods of amortization are commonly used: Straight-line Effectiveinterest. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 20
Reporting Interest Expense: Effective-interest Amortization The effective interest method is the theoretically preferred method. Compute interest expense by multiplying the current unpaid balance times the market rate of interest. The discount amortization is the difference between interest expense and the cash paid (or accrued) for interest. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 21
Reporting Interest Expense: Effective-interest Amortization Harrah s issued their bonds on Jan. 1, 2009. The issue price was $88,530. The bonds have a 10- year maturity and $5,000 interest is paid semiannually.

Debt-to-Equity Debt-to-Equity = Total Liabilities Stockholders Equity This ratio shows the relationship between the amount of capital provided by owners and the amount provided by creditors. In general, a high ratio suggest that a company relies heavily on funds provided by creditors. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 35
Early Retirement of Debt Occasionally, the issuing company will call (repay early) some or all of its bonds. Gains/losses are calculated by comparing the bond call amount with the book value of the bond. Book Value > Retirement Price = Gain Book Value < Retirement Price = Loss McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 36
Focus on Cash Flows Financing Activities Issuance of bonds (a cash inflow) Retire debt (a cash outflow) Repay bond principal at maturity (a cash outflow) Remember that payment of interest is an operating activity. McGraw-Hill/Irwin Slide 37
