Answer:
C. Shareholders and providers of finance
Explanation:
A company's financial report communicates the financial health of a business. It indicates whether a business is profitable and can meet its financial obligations.
Shareholders are the owners of a business. They are interested in the financial reports to know if their venture is making profits. Shareholders expect to earn dividends from the business. Only a profitable business is able to declare dividends. Financial reports guide shareholders in making decisions regarding the future of the business.
Lenders provide debt capital to a business. If the company is profitable, then lenders are happy because their payments are assured. Lenders rely on financial reports in deciding whether to extend or deny credit to businesses.
Answer:
Dr. Cash $3,549,590
Cr. Premium on Account Receivable $649,590
Cr. Bond Payable Account $2,900,000
Explanation:
The difference between the face value of the bond and the sale value of the bond is known as premium or the discount on the bond. If the face value is higher from the sale value the bond is issued on the discount and if the sale value of the bond is higher than the face value the bond is issued on the premium.
Premium on the Bond = Face value - Sale value = $3,549,590 - $2,900,000 = $649,590
The Premium will be amortized during the life of the bond to maturity and deducted from the interest expense.
