Why does an oligopoly only work if there are high barriers to entry in a market?

1 answer:

4 0

An oligopoly is the limitation of competition. If you can keep competitors out of the marketplace, you have more of a chance to make a profit. If you are in a business with a very high capital outlay or you have an extremely well trained labor force that your competitors can't match then you have effectively created or have created for you a very high barrier. Hence an oligopoly.

Loss on Bond Redemption $26550 Dr

Discount on Bonds Payable $11000 Cr

Cash $326550 Cr

Issuance of New Bonds

3-30-17 Cash $314110 Dr

Premium on Bonds Payable $3110 Cr

Bonds Payable $311000 Cr

Explanation:

Redemption of Bonds Payable

The maturity value for bonds payable is equal to the face value of these bonds. This means that the face value of old bonds was $311000.

The bonds were carrying a discount. Thus, the carrying value of bonds was

Carrying value = Face value - Discount

Carrying value = 311000 - 11000 = $300000

Bonds with a carrying value of $300000 were redeemed at 105% of the face value. The cash paid for redemption is,

Cash paid = 311000 * 105% = 326550

Thus, there was a loss on redemption of = 326550 - 300000 = $26550

Issuance of Bonds Payable

The bonds were issued at 101% of the face value which means they were issued at a premium.

The amount of premium on these bonds is,

Premium = Carrying value - Face value

Premium = 311000 * 101% - 311000

Premium = $3110
