A fair value option is the alternative  for a business to record its financial instruments at the fair values. Liabilities are company's financial debts or obligations that arise in the course of business operations. They may be long term or short term. In this case, if the fair value of the liability decreases, the firm should respond by crediting the unrealized Holding Gain/loss in the income account.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

January 1, 2022:

Face value of bonds issued =  $2,800,000

Proceeds from the bonds issue 3,006,070

Bonds Premium =                        $206,070

Coupon interest rate = 7%

Effective interest rate = 6%

Bonds maturity period = 10 years

Payment of annual interest = each January 1

December 31, 2022:

Interest expense = $180,364 ($3,006,070 * 6%)

Cash payment = $196,000 ($2,800,000 * 7%)

Amortization of premium $15,636 ($196,000 - $180,364)

Bonds' fair value = $2,990,434 ($3,006,070 - $15,636)

December 31, 2023:

Interest expense = $179,426 ($2,990,434 * 6%)

Cash payment = $196,000 ($2,800,000 * 7%)

Amortization of premium $16,574 ($196,000 - $179,426)

Bonds' fair value = $2,973,860 ($2,990,434 - $16,574)

Analysis:

i. The issuance of the bonds on January 1, 2022:

Cash $3,006,070 Bonds Payable $2,800,000 Bonds Premium $206,070

ii. Accrual of interest and amortization of the premium on December 31, 2022:

Interest expense $180,364 Premium Amortization $15,636 Interest Payable $196,000

iii. The payment of interest on January 1, 2023:

Interest Payable $196,000 Cash $196,000

iv. Accrual of interest and amortization of the premium on December 31, 2023:

icang [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Yield rate on unsecured bonds=12%

Yield rate on zero coupon bond=12%

Yield rate on 10% mortgage bonds=12%

Total debt value=10m+25m+20m=55m

Weight of unsecured bonds=10/55=0.182

Weight of zero coupon bonds=25/55=0.455

Weight of 10% mortgage bonds = 20/55= 0.363

Cost of debt=0.182*12+ 0.455*12+0.363*12=12%

The Great Depression was the worst economic disaster in U.S. history in terms of declines in real GDP and increases in the unemp
KatRina [158]

Answer: -27.2%

Explanation:

The Real GDP can be calculated using the formula for calculating the Price Deflator which is the current price level for the year.

Price Deflator = (Nominal GDP / Real GDP) * 100

Real GDP = (Nominal GDP/ Price Deflator ) * 100

1929

= (103.6/11.9 )* 100

= $870.588

1933

= (56.4/8.9) * 100

= $633.70787

Percentage Change

= (870.588 - 633.70787) / 870.588

= 0.272

= -27.2%

GDP changed by -27.2% over the 4 year period between 1929 and 1933

According to the article, purchases of sugary beverages went down 12% in 53 Mexican cities as a result of a 10% tax. What kind o
const2013 [10]

Answer:

B) Demand is price elastic

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand is the degree of responsiveness of demand to a change in price. It measures how much is effected on quantity demaned as a result of a unit change in price.

It is calculated as % change in quantity demanded by % change in price.

PED = % change in Quantity demanded/ % change in price

IF PED is greater than 1, demand is price elasitic

If IF PED is less than 1, demand is price inelasitic

If IF PED is equal to one, it is unitary

If the % change in price produces a more than proportional change in demand , PED is elastic.

In this question ,  a 10% increase in price as a result  of tax produces 12% fall  in demand, so  PED = 12%/10%= 1.2.

PED is greater 1, Therefore, demand is price elastic
