On January 1, Pacer Corporation issued $2,000,000, 13%, 5-year bonds with interest payable on July 1 and January 1. The bonds sold for $2,197,080. The market rate of interest for these bonds was 11%. On the first interest date, using the effective-interest method, the debit entry to Interest Expense is for Select one: a. $260,000. b. $130,000. c. $142,810. d. $241,679. e. $120,839.

Option E, is correct as effective interest $ 120,839

Explanation:

The coupon interest payable semi-annually is computed thus:

Semi-annual coupon =13%/2*$2000000

                                  =$130,000

However the bond was issued at  premium, using effective interest the first interest payment is calculated on the actual issue value of the bond of $2,197,080 using the market rate of interest

effective interest=11%/2*$2,197,080

                           =$ 120,839.40  

Hence,the interest expense based on effective interest is  $120,839 rounded to the nearest whole number

Option D is wrong because the effective interest is a semi-annual interest not an annual one.

employees use applications that are uniformed so that they are able to look over them more quickly because the do not want to spend a long time reading through the applications so they get all the infomation that the are looking for on the application they made so the do not have to read about unnessacary infomaton. so to make it simple it them find the person that they want to hirer faster with out wasting time.
