Sunland Company issued its 9%, 25-year mortgage bonds in the principal amount of $2,990,000 on January 2, 2006, at a discount of $151,000, which it proceeded to amortize by charges to expense over the life of the issue on a straight-line basis. The indenture securing the issue provided that the bonds could be called for redemption in total but not in part at any time before maturity at 106% of the principal amount, but it did not provide for any sinking fund.

Explanation:

We will cacualte the cash outlay per interest paymenr

2,990,000 x 9% = 269,100 cash outlay

Then, we divide the discount over the life of the bond to knwo the depreciation:

amortization 151,000 / 25 = 6040

interest expense: 269,100 + 6040 = 275,140

As both, the amortization and cash putlay are fixed th interest entry repeats it selft each year.

i dont know about your physical education course but usually the key is determination and not giving up

88 because 4 plus 4 equals 8. 40 plus 40 equals 80. 80 plus 8 equals 88
