Answer:
These two are cash equivalents:
Money market funds
Three-month Treasury bills
Because they represent short-term investments that a company makes with the goal of getting rid of any excess cash that would otherwise be left unused while it is losing value because of inflation.
In other words, the main goal of investments in money market funds and three-month treasury bills, is to prevent cash from losing value due to inflation, and because of that, those investments are considered cash equivalents.
Answer:
cash 96,535 debit
discount on BP 3,465 debit
Bonds Payable 100,000 credit
Explanation:
We need to determinate the price at which the bonds were issued:
Which is the present value of the coupon payment and maturity
Coupon payment: 100,000 x 10% / 2 = 5,000
time 4 (2 years x 2 payment per year)
rate 0.06 (12% annual / 2 = 6% semiannual)
PV $17,325.5281
Maturity (face value) $100,000.00
time 4.00
rate 0.06
PV 79,209.37
PV c $17,325.5281
PV m $79,209.3663
Total $96,534.8944
As the bonds are issued below face value there is a discount:
100,000 - 96,535 = 3,465
the entry will recognize the cash procceds and the creation of a liaiblity
we will also use an auxiliar account for the discount on the bonds
