Premium on bonds payable is the amount by which the issuance price of a bond exceeds its face value. This premium arises when bonds are issued at a price higher than their par value, often due to interest rates being lower than the bond’s coupon rate. The premium is amortized over the bond’s life, reducing interest expense. It is recorded as a liability on the balance sheet.
