Answer:

(a) What is the yield to maturity (annual compounding) on the bond?

Yield to maturity (YTM) = (face value / market price)¹/ⁿ - 1

  • face value = $1,000
  • market price = $800
  • n = 5

YTM = ($1,000 / $800)⁰°² - 1 =  0.0456 or 4.56%

(b) Assume the yield to maturity on comparable zeros increases to 7% immediately after purchasing the bond and remains there. Calculate your annual return (holding period yield) if you sell the bond after one year.

holding period yield = (end of period value - initial value) / initial value

initial value = $800

end of period value = ?

to determine the end of period value we must solve:

7% = ($1,000 / ?)⁰°²⁵ - 1

1.07 = ($1,000 / ?)⁰°²⁵

1.07⁴ = $1,000 / ?

? = $1,000 / 1.3108 = $762.90

holding period yield = ($762.90 - $800) / $800 = -4.64%

(c) Assume yields to maturity on comparable bonds remain at 7%, calculate your annual return if you sell the bond after two years.

1.07³ = $1,000 / ?

? = $1,000 / 1.225 = $816.30

holding period yield = ($816.30 - $800) / $800 = 2.04%

annualized return = (1 + total return)¹/ⁿ - 1 = (1 + 0.0204)¹/² - 1 = 1.01%

(d) Suppose after 3 years, the yield to maturity on similar zeros declines to 3%.  Calculate the annual return if you sell the bond at that time.

1.03² = $1,000 / ?

? = $1,000 / 1.0609 = $942.60

holding period yield = ($942.60 - $800) / $800 = 17.83%

annualized return = (1 + total return)¹/ⁿ - 1 = (1 + 0.1783)¹/³ - 1 = 5.62%

Bonds with a face amount $1,000,000, are sold at 96. The entry to record the issuance is
laiz [17]

Answer:

Option C is correct

Explanation:

The cash proceeds from the bond issuance is 96% of its face value i.e 96%*$1,000,000=$960,000

The discount on bonds payable=Face value-cash proceeds

The discount on  bonds payable=$1,000,000-$960,000=$40,000

The appropriate entries would be to credit bonds payable with $1000,000 while cash and discount on bonds payable are debited with $960,000 and $40,000 respectively

Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

a. See the journal entries in the explanation below.

Retained Earnings is $175,000

Goodwill is $25,000

b. See the journal entries in the explanation below.

Retained Earnings is $175,000

Capital Reserve is $4,000

Explanation:

Note: There are mistakes the names of the companies in the requirements a anb b. These correctly restated before answering the question by as follows:

a. Prepare the following consolidation entries required to prepare a consolidated balance sheet immediately after the business combination assuming Power acquired its ownership of Scrub for $291,000. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

1. Record the basic consolidation entry

2. Record the excess value (differential reclassification entry)

b. Prepare the following consolidation entries required to prepare a consolidated balance sheet immediately after the business combination assuming Power acquired its ownership of Scrub for $262,000. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

1. Record the basic consolidation entry.

2. Record the excess value (differential) reclassification entry.

<u>The answers and explanation are therefore given as follows:</u>

a. Prepare the following consolidation entries required when Consideration is $291,000

1. Record the basic consolidation entry

<u>Accounts                                              Dr ($)              Cr ($)              </u>

Common Stock                                   91,000

Retained Earnings (w.1)                    175,000

Goodwill (w.2)                                    25,000  

     Investment in Scrub Company                           291,000

<u><em>(To record the elimination of investment and stockholder equity.)   </em></u>

2. Record the excess value (differential reclassification entry)

Note that $25,000 is transferred to Goodwill account in part 1 above.

The $25,000 is transferred to Goodwill because when the consideration is greater than the net asset value which is calculated as the of Common Stock and Retained Earnings, the difference is the Goodwill.

When Net Consideration is more than the net asset value (Stockholder Equity), then the difference is to be transferred to Goodwill.

b. Prepare the following consolidation entries required when Consideration is $262,000

1. Record the basic consolidation entry

<u>Accounts                                              Dr ($)              Cr ($)              </u>

     Capital reserve (w.4)                                                4,000

<u><em>(To record the elimination of investment and stockholder equity.)   </em></u>

2. Record the excess value (differential reclassification entry)

Note that $4,000 is transferred to Capital Reserve in part 1 above.

The $4,000 is transferred to Capital Rserve because when the consideration is less than the net asset value which is calculated as the of Common Stock and Retained Earnings, the difference is Capital Reserve.

When Net Consideration is less than the net asset value (Stockholder Equity), then the difference is to be transferred to Capital reserve.
