The effective interest method calculates interest income by applying the effective rate to the bond's carrying amount, which adjusts over its life due to periodic amortization of discounts or premiums. This process yields a consistent yield relative to the bond’s changing carrying balance, ensuring that the total interest expense recognized over the bond's life equals the initial net investment minus redemption value, thus providing a uniform rate of return. For example, with serial bonds, applying the effective rate results in amortizing the premium, decreasing the carrying amount while maintaining a steady return relationship .

The effective interest method calculates amortization based on the difference between interest income—computed as the carrying amount times the effective rate—and the interest received, calculated with the nominal rate. For bonds with differing nominal and effective rates, this leads to either amortizing a discount (when the nominal rate is lower than the effective rate) or a premium (when the nominal rate is higher). The procedure maintains constant allocation relative to the carrying amount, ensuring uniform recognition of return rates over the bond's life. For example, bonds issued at a nominal rate of 8% with an effective rate of 10% will see discount amortization as interest income exceeds interest received .

The effective interest method affects the amortization schedule by ensuring that the interest expense in each period reflects a constant rate of return on the bond's carrying amount. This method requires calculation of interest income as the carrying amount multiplied by the effective rate, which results in varying amortization of the bond's discount or premium over its life. As seen in cases with both discounts and premiums, the carrying amount is adjusted by deducting or adding the amortized amount. For a bond with a discount, the carrying amount increases until it matches the face value at maturity. For example, the carrying amount increased from P964,540 to P1,000,000 as the discount was amortized .

Under the Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) model, changes in the market value of a bond investment impact the balance sheet and other comprehensive income (OCI) but do not affect the profit or loss directly until derecognition. For instance, if the market value increases, an entity recognizes an unrealized gain by debiting 'Financial asset - FVOCI' and crediting 'Unrealized gain - OCI' with the increment. This change implies the carrying amount update to reflect the market value without impacting the income statement until sold .

Under the fair value option, bonds are measured at fair value with all changes in value recognized in profit or loss, emphasizing immediate recognition of market changes, contrasting with FVOCI where changes in market value are recorded in OCI and only impact profit or loss upon derecognition. Additionally, under FVOCI, amortization of premiums or discounts and interest payments must be reported in OCI, whereas under the fair value option, net changes in fair value and incurred costs are immediately expensed, focusing on the nominal rather than the effective rate for interest income .

Amortization of a premium is higher in later years under the effective interest method because the interest income calculated using the effective interest rate becomes progressively lower than the constant nominal interest received, resulting in an increasing portion of each payment being attributed to premium amortization. As the carrying amount decreases due to consistent premium amortization, the spread between interest income and interest received widens, leading to larger amortization amounts each period to adjust this difference. For instance, in 2018, the premium amortization is P16,529 compared to P15,026 in 2017 due to decreasing carrying amount .

A financial entity might choose the Fair Value Through Other Comprehensive Income (FVOCI) model for bond investments to align with its business model of both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets, while also benefiting from unrealized gains or losses being recognized in OCI. This approach allows the entity to showcase a more stable profit and loss statement until the bonds are sold. At derecognition, gains or losses accumulated in OCI are reclassified to profit or loss, providing the entity flexibility and strategic management of financial results .

The carrying amount of a bond under the effective interest method increases over time when a bond is issued at a discount. This increase happens because the discount is amortized periodically. Each amortization period involves adding the interest income (computed as carrying amount times the effective interest rate) minus the interest received (face amount times the nominal rate) to the carrying amount from the previous period. For example, on June 30, 2017, for a bond issued at a discount with a carrying amount of P964,540, the interest income would be P48,227 (P964,540 x 5% effective rate), which exceeds the interest received of P40,000 (P1,000,000 face amount x 4% nominal rate), and the discount amortization is P8,227 .

When using the effective interest method for bonds acquired with a premium, the interest income recognized is less than the interest received. This occurs because the carrying amount is initially greater than the face value. Therefore, the bond's carrying amount decreases over time due to the premium amortization. For instance, in 2017, the interest received for a bond was P120,000, but the interest income was only P104,974 (P1,049,740 carrying amount x 10% effective rate), resulting in premium amortization of P15,026 .

Transaction costs are included in the initial measurement of financial assets under FVOCI to reflect the total investment and align with the reporting model that combines cash flow collection and potential asset sales. Including these costs ensures that the carrying amount represents true acquisition value, aligning income recognition with effective interest calculations over the asset's lifespan and reflecting comprehensive performance. This treatment contrasts with the fair value through profit and loss approach, where transaction costs are expensed immediately, highlighting differences in investment strategy and accounting consistency .
