Hi Arif, After a company has issued a bond, it has to make coupon payments to the bond holder at regular intervals, but what role does the interest expense have to play? My interpretation is that the holder COULD have received the amount equal to the interest expense, but is getting only the coupon rate because of the discount he received on the bond at the time of issuance. This difference or the extra liability gets added to the bond book value every year till the DISCOUNT gets amortized.
