Answer:
b. $461,820
Explanation:
The computation of the amount reported in the balance sheet is shown below:
But before that we need to find out the amortization of discount which is
= Purchased value of bond × interest rate of return - face value of bond × interest rate
= $456,200 × 10% - $500,000 × 8%
= $45,620 - $40,000
= $5,620
Now the amount reported is
= Purchased value + discount amortization
= $456,200 + $5,620
= $461,820
Hence, the option b is correct
John Maynard Keynes is known for his economic theory called Keynesian economics. He studied on ways to resolve the problem of the Great Depression. According to Keynes, the government should abandon or reduce tax rates, and at the same time, increase government spending as investments. By increasing government expenditures, it would open more job opportunities and investments into an economic zone. People will have high earnings, and because of lower taxes, they could buy what they want. For Keynes, this type of economic system called capitalism is the solution for the Great Depression.
