Question
'Oreal, a beauty product company, issues 60. The maturity of the bond is 2 years and the bond pays coupons every six months. Which of the following statement is NOT correct?A.The change in equity at the time of each coupon payment due to amortisation alone is a gain of 90.C.At the time of each coupon payment, the value of the bond in the balance sheet increases by 100.E.The amortization value at the time of each coupon payment is $10.
Solution
The statement that is NOT correct is A. The change in equity at the time of each coupon payment due to amortisation alone is a gain of $10.
Here's why:
A. The change in equity at the time of each coupon payment due to amortisation alone is a gain of $10. This is NOT correct. Amortization is the process of gradually reducing a debt through regular payments over a period of time. In this case, the bond is being amortized, or paid off, over 2 years. However, this does not directly result in a gain in equity. Equity is the difference between a company's assets and liabilities. While amortization reduces a liability (the bond), it does not directly increase equity.
B. After 1 year and a half, after the payment of a third coupon, the value of the bond recorded in the balance sheet of L'Oreal is 60, and with each coupon payment, the value of the bond on the balance sheet increases by 90.
C. At the time of each coupon payment, the value of the bond in the balance sheet increases by $10. This is correct. As the bond is being amortized, its value on the balance sheet increases.
D. At maturity date, when amortization is complete, the redemption value (ignoring the final coupon) to get rid of the bonds from the balance sheet will be 100.
E. The amortization value at the time of each coupon payment is 10 per coupon payment.
