What is the difference between dividends and interest expense?

Interest Expense is usually calculated by (Carrying Value of Liability*Yield Rate * Time). Carrying Value is the actual present value of the liability (including discounts earned, etc) Interest Expense is the money that actually goes out of the firm. Interest Paid is calculated by (Face Value of Liability*Interest Rate * Time). Interest Paid is the fair-value of dues from the firm, but is not the actual value of the liability. Interest Expense is the amount reflected in the books of the firm, and is usually higher than Interest Paid. This is because Interest Expense often includes the cost of discount amortization(this is necessary when the bond/other liability was gained at a discount. The amortization is worked into the formula above, and hence gives an amount higher than interest paid. This gives the total interest expensed by the Company.) Hope this helps. Cheers
