Answer:
Bonds held to maturity are recorded at the net carrying value (after any premium or discount amortization is made), but since these bonds were purchased at face value, there is no premium or discount to be amortized. The bonds should be reported at face value as non-current assets since they mature in more than 1 year.
Explanation:
all the numbers are missing, so I looked for a similar question:
Otter Creek & Co. Owns vast amount of corporate bonds. Suppose Otter Creek buys $1,200,000 of RoastCo bonds at face value on January 2, 2016. The RoastCo bond spay interest at an annual rate of 3% on June 30 and December 31, and mature on December 31, 2020. Otter Creek intends to hold the investment until maturity.
How would the bond investment be classified on December 31, 2016, balance sheet?
Answer:
There are a thousand and one scenarios that would make me break my piggy bank.
Explanation:
If I came across a very good deal, I'd draw from my financial reserve and empty it if need be to take advantage of such an opportunity.
Imagine for instance that a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD truck which normally goes for about $34,000 is suddenly available for whatever legitimate reason for about $10,000 and its only 3 months old without dents or any mechanical fault, perhaps the owner needs cash for something equally more profitable to them, I'd grab the opportunity to buy it and resell at a higher price in order to turn a decent profit.
For a car that has only been used for three months, I can resell easily and very quickly at half the original price making a $7,000 in profit or I decide to hold on a little while can actually sell at a much higher price for nearly $30,000 perhaps one or two thousand dollars less and still make an extremely good profit.
