  • what does it means par?

  • @duardie2

    Hi. The concept of par value is explained in the video at time mark 1:40.

  • Very well explained. Although I must mention, the "Straight-Line" amortization of the discount/premium is not GAAP. The effective interest method is used for GAAP and external reporting purposes

  • @theplaymaker15cv

    Hi. You are quite correct, but remember also that the principle of materiality would allow the use of straight-line as long as the difference between it and effective interest is immaterial. Straight-line is illustrated in most text books because it is so easy to explain and understand. Effective interest is introduced in more advanced courses.
