Explanation of Solution
Bonds: Bonds are long-term promissory notes that are represented by a company while borrowing money from investors to raise fund for financing the operations.
Bonds Payable: Bonds payable are referred to long-term debts of the business, issued to various lenders known as bondholders, generally in multiples of $1,000 per bond, to raise fund for financing the operations.
Premium on bonds payable: It occurs when the bonds are issued at a higherprice than the face value.
Straight-line amortization method: It is a method of bond amortization that spreads the amount of the bond discount equally over the interest period.
Prepare journal entry for cash proceeds from the issuance of the bonds on January 1, 2015.
