Anna [14]

Answer:

1. Carrying amount = $250,000

2. Cash paid to retire bond = $225,000

3. Gain on the retirement = $25,000

Explanation:

1. What is Plummer Company's carrying amount of the bonds payable on the retirement date?

Carrying amount of a bond payable on the retirement date is its par value amount.

Therefore, Plummer Company's carrying amount of the bonds payable on the retirement date is $100 par value for 2,500 units with a total carrying amount of $250,000.

2. How much cash must Plummer Company pay to retire the bondspayable?

Units of bond = $250,000/$100 = 2,500 units.

Since Plummer pays the market price of $90 to retire the bonds, cash amount Plummer Company must pay to retire the bonds payable can be calculated as follows:

Cash paid to retire bonds = 25,000 * $90 = $225,000

3.Compute Plummer Company's gain or loss on the retirement of the bonds payable.

Gain (loss) = Carrying amount - Cash paid on retirement = $250,000 - $225,000 = $25,000

You are trying to decide between a par value corporate bond carrying a coupon rate of 6.25% per year and a par value municipal b

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Municipal bond because the equivalent taxable yield is 6.6%

Explanation:

we should make the important difference that municipal bonds are tax free while corporate bonds don't.

Therefore we should solve for the after tax rate fo the corporate bond:

$pretax (1-t) = after tax -rate\\0.0625(1-0.28) = 0.0625(0.72) = 0.045$

The corporate bond as a yield of 4.5% after taxes which is lower than the municipal bond. This make it more attractive

We can also solve for the pre-tax rate of the municipal bond:

$pretax(1-t) = after tax - rate\\pretax (1-0.28) = 0.0475\\pretax = 0.0475/0.72 = 0,065972 = 0.066$

the municipal bonds would be equivalent to a 6.6% corporate bonds.

This makes option D correct.

The following information relates to the assets of Westfield Semiconductors as of December 31, 2019. Westfield uses the straight

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

See the explanation below.

Explanation:

Given the following:

Asset Acquisition-Cost Expected-Life Residual-Value Time-Used

Land $104,300 Infinite $100,000 10 years

Building 430,000 25 years 30,000 10 years

Machine 285,000 5 years 10,000 2 years

Patent 80,000 10 years 0 3 years

Truck 21,000 100,000 miles 3,000 44,000 miles

Therefore, we have:

Building annual depreciation = ($430,000 - $30,000) / 25 = $16,000

Building net book value (NBV) = $430,000 - (16,000 * 10) = $270,000

Machine annual depreciation = ($285,000 - 10,000) / 10 = $27,500

Machine NBV = $285,000 - ($27,500 * 2) = $230,000

Patent annual amortization = $80,000 / 10 = $8,000

Patent net written down value = $80,000 - ($8,000 * 3) = $56,000

Truck accumulated depreciation = ($21,000 - 3,000) * (44,000 / 100,000) = $7,920

Truck NBV = $21,000 - $7,920 = 13,080
