A bond is simply a form of an
interest-bearing note. Like a
note, a bond requires periodic
interest payments, and the
face amount must be repaid at
the maturity date.

Bonds Payable

Click to edit Master title style

15-2

 A corporation that issues bonds enters into
a contract (called a bond indenture or trust
indenture) with the bondholders.
 Usually, the face value of each bond, called
the principal, is Rp1,000,000 or a multiple
of Rp1,000,000.
 Interest on bonds may be payable annually,
semiannually, or quarterly. Most pay
interest semiannually.

13

14

Click to edit Master title style

15-2

 When all bonds of an issue mature at

the same time, they are called term
bonds.
 If the maturity dates are spread over
several dates, they are called serial
bonds.

 Bonds that may be exchanged for other

securities are called convertible bonds.
14

15

Click to edit Master title style

15-2

 Bonds that a corporation reserves the

right to redeem before their maturity
are called callable bonds.

 Bonds issued on the basis of the

general credit of the corporation are
debenture bonds.

15

16

Pricing of Bonds Payable

Click to edit Master title style

15-2

When a corporation issues bonds, the price that
buyers are willing to pay depends upon three
factors:

1. The face amount of the bonds, which is the
amount due at the maturity date.
2. The periodic interest to be paid on the bonds.
This is called the contract rate or the coupon
rate.
3. The market or effective rate of interest.
16

17

Click to edit Master title style

15-2

The market or effective rate of interest is
determined by transactions between buyers
and sellers of similar bonds. The market
rate of interest is affected by a variety of
factors, including:
1. investors assessment of current economic
conditions, and
2. future expectations.

There are two methods of amortizing a
bond discount:
1) The straight-line method and

Both methods amortize the same total

Financial Analysis and Interpretation

Click to edit Master title style

15-6

Some corporations have a high ratio of
debt to stockholders‟ equity. For such
corporations, analysts often assess the
relative risk of the debtholders in terms
of the number of times the interest
charges are earned during the year.

Number of Times the Interest Charges
Earned

15-6

To illustrate, assume the following data:
Interest expense
Rp 36,883,000,000
Income before income tax 174,315,000,000

Income before income tax + Interest expense
Interest expense
Rp174,315,000,000 + Rp36,883,000,000
Rp36,883,000,000
(Continued)

79

Click to edit Master title style

15-6

The number of times interest
charges are earned is 5.73.
This ratio indicates that the debtholders have
adequate protection against a potential drop in
earnings jeopardizing their receipt of interest
payments. A full analysis should involve a
comparison with industry averages.
