Answer:
unrealized gain from change in market value = $10,617
Explanation:
Bonds carrying value = $739,816
amortization of bond discount = ($739,816 x 6%) - ($800,000 x 5.5%) = $389
amortization of bond discount = ($740,205 x 6%) - ($800,000 x 5.5%) = $412
bond's carrying value = $740,205 + $412 = $740,617
unrealized gain = carrying value - market value = $740,617 - $730,000 = $10,617
A) it is more accurate than accrual accounting.
When the bonds will mature, the company will receive, maturity value plus the interest earned on the bonds.
The maturity value will be the par value, as nothing is given, the bonds are redeemed at par value i.e. $ 46,000.
The interest income will be calculated as -
Interest Income = 7 % * $ 46,000 = $ 3,220
Thus, the total cash proceeds = $ 46,000 + $ 3,220 = $ 49,220
