¶ … Issuance of Bonds Is as Follows:
Long-Term Debt
Cash
This is because we are adding cash to the balance sheet, which is an asset, and we are adding the liability of long-term debt as well. We put debits on the left hand side and credits on the right hand side.
For the interest expense it is as follows:
Cash
Interest Expense
This is because we are debiting cash, and crediting the interest expense column. The balance sheet shrinks as the result of this payment, so there is no offset on the balance sheet, but rather there is on the income statement. There are times when at the cutoff for an accounting period there is accrued interest, so in such instances that might be recorded differently.
An amortized bond is one that has been reduced in value for records on accounting statements (Investopedia, 2013). So this is a bond sold at a discount, and the discount amount is amortized to interest expense over the life of the bond. If we go with straight line, the journal entries would look like this:
Interest Expense
XXXX
Interest Payable
XXXX
Bond Discount
XXXX
In that situation, the interest payable and bond discount would...
Note there is no cash here, because this is not a cash transaction. The discount on the bond was equivalent to what the cash payment would have been -- the Long-Term Debt would simply have been smaller from the outset (Obaidullah, 2013).

There are a few different ways to calculate depreciation and amortization. Depreciation can be calculated using the straight line method. This is simple. If an asset has a life span of 5 years and it costs $100,000, then that means that in each year a depreciation expense is $20,000, as in $100,000 / 5 = $20,000 per year.
Another method that is allowed under GAAP is the units of production method. Any measure of production can be used. So for example if expected units produced per year are 10, 50, 200, 200, 50 the depreciation expense for the first year would be (10/510*$100,000) = $1,960.
GAAP also allows for accelerated methods as well. The declining balance method is the depreciation rate * Book value, so that if the rate is 30%, the first year depreciation expense is (.3*100000) = $30,000 and the second year depreciation expense would be (.3*$70,000) = $21,000.
Another allowable method is the sum of year's digits method, which is taking the useful life and working…

Iacobucci and Triantis clarify that any type of corporation with legal personhood qualifies to issue debt as long as it can own property, enter contracts and be sued. Corporates can be issued in bearer form, where the holder of the actual certificate is required to update information periodically with the trustee or issuer, or as "registry" bonds, with the owner named but which carry no material coupons. "Book entry" bonds reside
Domestic debt is also needed for monetary policy purposes including for sterilizing inflows of foreign exchange." (Kahn, 2005) In addition bond markets assist in the provision of interest rates across the maturity spectrum and more efficient pricing of risk. By providing an alternative source of financing they reduce concentration of intermediation in banks. Because lending can be hedged in the bond market, banks have the ability to lend longer."
The market structure of Turkey is quite different from that of the UK. The cultural composition of Turkey is not a guarantee of making proportional sales. The reasons for the low performance of the company's product could as well reverberate in Turkey. If the UK market that the company is accustomed to has failed to yield expected returns, the viability of the company's product in Turkey is doubtful. However,

In spite of subsequent attempts to control spending, the average net savings, as estimated in the NIPA attained a low of negative $40 billion or negative 0.4% of GDP during the first quarter of the year. A majority of these authorities are subject to balanced -budget necessities and added rules which need them to respond to fiscal disturbances. Hence in addition to decreasing operating expenses, government relied on reserves,
