when an investment is HTM, and the cost is higher than par, will the B/S carry cost reduced each year until at the maturity, the cost=par?
is the reduced amount called Accrued interest or Amort/disc? Thanks.作者: lunarfollies 时间: 2013-4-4 15:14
accrued interest is entirely different and involves the purchase of a fixed income security in between coupon payment periods.
under htm the value of the security on the bs will be carried at amortized cost. amortized cost does not equal the par value. for a premium bond, amortized cost equals the original purchase prices less the amortized premium.作者: kmf229 时间: 2013-4-4 15:18
The amortization equals
Coupon payment - effective interest rate * book value
