Answer: The presence of asymmetric information

                                               

Explanation:  In simple words, asymmetric information refers to the situation when one party to a contract have extra information regarding a subject than the other party of the contract.

Asymmetric information creates the potential of misconduct from the leading party as they can easily cheat the other party by concealing that important information.

yulyashka [42]

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
