d. No entry should be made.

Answer 1

Answer:

correct option is c. $51,240

Explanation:

given data

fair value of Ritter  Inc = $2,120,000

Landis Company purchased = $2,000,000

rate = 8 %

time = 5 year

bonds sold =  $2,083,160

rate = 7%

premiums July 1 =  $7,080

premiums December 31 = $7,320

solution

we get here Landis Company  comprehensive income as separate component of stockholders' equity  that is express as

comprehensive income = fair value of Ritter - ( bonds sold - premiums July 1  - premiums December 31 )  ..................1

put here value and we get

comprehensive income = $2,120,000 - ( $2,083,160 - $7,080 - $7,320  )

comprehensive income =  $51240

so correct option is c. $51,240
