What are the three main characteristics of bonds?
The three main characteristics of bonds are their face value (par value), coupon rate (interest rate), and maturity date (when the bond will be repaid). Bond prices fluctuate based on market interest rates, with higher rates leading to lower bond prices and vice versa. Bonds can be issued by governments, municipalities, or corporations to raise funds.
What are bonds sold at face value?
Bonds sold at face value, or par value, are issued at their nominal value, which is the amount the issuer agrees to pay the bondholder at maturity. For example, if a bond has a face value of $1,000, it will be sold for $1,000 when issued. Investors typically receive interest payments based on this face value until maturity, when they are repaid the full amount. Selling at face value indicates that the bond is not being sold at a premium or discount relative to its value.
What is the difference between the bond's principal and the bond's par value?
The bond's principal refers to the initial amount borrowed by the issuer and repaid at maturity, while the bond's par value is the face value of the bond that is used to calculate interest payments. In most cases, the principal and par value are the same, but they can differ if the bond is issued at a discount or a premium.
What is a discount on bonds payable account in accounting?
All bonds have a stated or "par" value, which is the value that the bond will hold after the bond term is completed at maturity (par value is usually $1000 per bond). When a bond is issued at a discount, it means that a company issued the bond for less than the par value (i.e less than $1000). The original discount is calculated as the difference between the par value and the bond sale price, and it is amortized over the life of the bond.
What does it mean when bonds are issued at premium?
The bond price exceeds the par price when issued at a premium and declines to the par value as it gets closer to maturity.

What is the principal amount of a bond that is repaid at the end of the term called?
The principal amount of a bond that is repaid at the end of the term is called the "face value" or "par value." This is the amount that the bond issuer agrees to pay the bondholder upon maturity. It is also the basis for calculating interest payments, which are typically expressed as a percentage of the face value.
What type of set increments are bonds usually sold in?
