Answer:
cash 96,535 debit
discount on BP 3,465 debit
Bonds Payable 100,000 credit
Explanation:
We need to determinate the price at which the bonds were issued:
Which is the present value of the coupon payment and maturity
Coupon payment: 100,000 x 10% / 2 = 5,000
time 4 (2 years x 2 payment per year)
rate 0.06 (12% annual / 2 = 6% semiannual)
PV $17,325.5281
Maturity (face value) $100,000.00
time 4.00
rate 0.06
PV 79,209.37
PV c $17,325.5281
PV m $79,209.3663
Total $96,534.8944
As the bonds are issued below face value there is a discount:
100,000 - 96,535 = 3,465
the entry will recognize the cash procceds and the creation of a liaiblity
we will also use an auxiliar account for the discount on the bonds
Answer:
No, we can’t say
Explanation:
In this question, we are asked to decide if we can say that Guatemala’s standard of living grew more than that of the US’ standard of living between the years 1993 and 2003 given the pointers in the question.
We cannot say that this is correct because of the following reasons;
As observed from the question, the US growth rate was calculated between the years 1948-2003, which is indicative of a 55 year span. Now, comparing this with that of Guatemala, we can see that the span here is just 10 years I.e from 1993 to 2003.
Also, we were not provided with the population growth rate in both countries and this makes it difficult to judge which of the two countries have a better growth in terms of standard of living
Answer:
An economic union
Explanation:
Economic integration can be defined as a strategic trade arrangement between countries to eliminate or mitigate trade barriers, as well as coordinate fiscal and monetary policy among its members.
Trade can be defined as a process which typically involves the buying and selling of goods and services between a producer and the customers (consumers) at a specific period of time. There are different types of market or trade bloc used in economic integration and these includes;
I. Customs union
II. Free trade area
III. Common market
IV. Political union
VI. Economic union
An economic union can be defined as a trade bloc which comprises of both customs union and a common market.
In a common market, there are free movement of the factors of production and no barrier to trade between member countries. Also, a common market establishes a common external trade policy for non-member countries.
However, an economic union entails even closer economic integration and cooperation among member countries than a common market because it combines customs union and a common market.
Answer:
Jason's performance appraisal may be unfair due to likeability.
Explanation:
The criteria that influence Jason's evaluation are not only his accomplishments. His low rates are based on the sympathy others feel or don't feel for him, which obviously doesn't affect his productivity, effectiveness or doesn't prevent him from completing his tasks successfully. It is an unfair performance review because it is based on how the others feel about Jason and it puts aside his goals.
