Pie Co. uses the installment sales method to recognize revenue. Customers pay the installment notes in 24 equal monthly amounts,

Nataliya [291]

Answer:

C. The present value of the remaining monthly payments discounted at 12%.

Explanation:

To answer the question I have used following values to workout

Original Sales Value = 500,000

Interest rate = 12%

Numbers of periods = 24

First I calculate the Equal annual installment payment by using following excel formula

=PMT(rate,nper,pv,[fv],[type])

Where

PMT = Equal Annual Payment

rate = Interst rate = 12%/12 = 1%

nper = Tota numbers of payment = 24 payments

pv = oroginal sales value = 500,000

FV = Value outstanding after 24 payments = 0

Type = The payment made at the start or end of the year ( 0 for the payment made at the end of the period and 1 for the payment made at the beginning of the period ) = 0

placing values in the formula

=PMT(1%,24,50,000,0,0)

= $23,536.74

Now use these values to make the schedule which is attached with this answer.

After six Payment

Outstanding value = 385,961.72

Original sales price = 500,000

Percentage of outstanding balance to original sales value = 385,961.72 / 500,000 = 0.77 = 77%

The reamining balance is above 75% of the original sales price.

A payment schedule is attached for reference

On January 1, 2019, Amazon issues $100,000 in bonds having a stated rate of 10%. The bonds mature in 2 years (Dec. 31, 2020) and

Nutka1998 [239]

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

$C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\$

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)

$5000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.06)^{-4} }{0.06} = PV\\$

PV $17,325.5281

$\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV$

Maturity (face value) $100,000.00

time 4.00

rate 0.06

$\frac{100000}{(1 + 0.06)^{4} } = PV$

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
