Pricing of Bonds
A.Supply and demand cause a bond to be priced to yield the market rate of interest for securities of similar risk and maturity.
1.Price can be calculated as the present value of all the cash flows required (principal and interest).
2.The discount rate is the market interest rate.
B.Other things being equal, the lower the perceived riskiness of the corporation issuing bonds, the higher the price those bonds will command.
C.When bond prices are quoted in financial media, they typically are stated in terms of a percentage of face amount.
So, a price quote of 97 means a $1,000 bond will sell for $970; a bond priced at 102 will sell for $1,020.

U. S. GAAP vs. IFRS
The fair value option may be elected by the firm.
Although U.S. GAAP guidance indicates that the intent of the fair value option under U.S. GAAP is to address these sorts of circumstances, it does not require that those circumstances exist.
International accounting standards are more restrictive than U.S. standards for determining when firms are
allowed to elect the fair value option.
Companies may only elect the fair value option when
1. When a group of financial assets or liabilities is managed and its performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, or
2. If the fair value option reduces “accounting mismatch.”
14-37
U. S. GAAP vs. IFRS
Unless the recorded amount of the debt is reduced by the transaction costs, the higher effective interest rate is not
reflected in a higher recorded interest expense.
Debt issue costs (called transaction costs under IFRS) are accounted for differently by U.S. GAAP and IFRS.
• Debt issue costs are recorded separately as an asset.
• Amortized over the term to maturity.
“Transaction costs” reduce the recorded amount of the debt.
The cost of these services reduces the net cash the issuing company receives and the amount recorded for the debt.

Where We’re HeadedUnder a proposed change in the way we account for financial assets and liabilities, financial assets would be measured at (a) fair value with changes reported in net income (FV-NI), (b) at fair value through Other Comprehensive Income (FV-OCI), or (c) at amortized cost, the classification depending on the assets’ characteristics and the company’s business strategy for holding the assets.
Most liabilities would be accounted for at amortized cost as described in this chapter. The fair value option, though, would no longer be permitted except in unique circumstances. The proposed change is a result of a joint project on financial instruments by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and the FASB as part of a broader goal of achieving a single set of high quality global accounting standards. At the time this text is being written, a final standard is expected to be issued in 2012.
