Several years ago Abrams, Inc., sold $950,000 in bonds to the public. Annual cash interest of 8 percent ($76,000) was to be paid on this debt. The bonds were issued at a discount to yield 10 percent. At the beginning of 2012, Bierman Corporation (a wholly owned subsidiary of Abrams) purchased $190,000 of these bonds on the open market for $211,000, a price based on an effective interest rate of 6 percent. The bond liability had a book value on that date of $770,000. Assume Abrams uses the equity method to account internally for its investment in Bierman. |
