Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The initial purchase of the land and the associated costs of opening up mining operations will cost​ $100 million today. The mine is expected to generate​ $16 million worth of ore per year for the next 12 years. At the end of the 12th year Rearden will need to spend​ $20 million to restore the land to its original pristine nature appearance.

We need to sum each cash flow until the total initial investment is paid:

Number of years= 100,000,000/16,000,000= 6.25 years

To be exact:

0.25*365= 95 days

It will take 6 years and 95 days to recover the initial investment.

Explanation:

The Journal Entry is shown below:-

1. Cash Dr,                                                $19,618,250

Discount on bonds payable Dr,               $606,750

          To Bonds payable                                           $20,225,000

(Being Bonds issued is recorded)

Working Note:-

Cash = ($20,225,000 × (97 ÷ 100)

=  $19,618,250

So, the bonds has been issued a discount. The par value of the bonds is 100.

2. Cash Dr,                                                $19,416,000

Discount on bonds payable Dr,               $1,820,250

          To Bonds payable                                           $20,225,000  

          To Paid in capital share warrants                   $1,011,250

(Being bonds issued is recorded)

Working Note:-

The Value of bonds issued at a discount

So, value of bonds = ($20,225,000 × ($96 ÷ $100)

= $19,416,000

Now, Value of warrants = ($20,225,000 ÷ 100) × $5

= $1,011,250

Total value of bonds including warrants = Value of bonds + Value of warrants

= $19,416,000 + $1,011,250

= $21,236,250

3. Debt conversion expense Dr,      $78,300

Bonds payable Dr,                             $10,342,000

          To discount payable                            $58,600

           To common stock                               $1,034,200

           To paid in capital in excess

            of common stock                                $9,249,200

           To cash                                                  $78,300

(Being debt conversion is recorded)
