The question is missing an important information. 'The bond is currently selling at an asking price of 101.25' In this part there should have been a date at which date the bond was selling at 101.25.

Nevertheless, I will provide with the calculation, if you find out the date, just plug in the value in it and you will get the answer.

The bond price mentioned is $ 101.25 percent of par, which would be $ 1012.5. Since, it is asking for price at May 1st then you know that it has been 89 days since the last semi-annual coupon was paid ( February 1st (28) + March (31) + April (30)  = 89 days.

The missing date (from the question) will be divided by 89 days. The answer will be added to $1012.5.

In 20X5, Elm Corp. bought 10,000 shares of Oil Corp. at a cost of $20,000. On January 15, 20X6, Elm declared a property dividend
xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

c) $25,000

Explanation:

A property dividend should be recorded in retained earnings at the property's  <u>market value at date of declaration.</u>

<u>The date of declaration is the date on which the firm has made the commitment to pay the dividend. The market value on this date is the value that was considered when the board made the decision to distribute a property dividend and thus is the appropriate measure of the sacrifice to the firm. </u>

<u> </u>In application to the scenario, <u>the property dividend will be recorded in retained earnings at the market value at the date of declaration which is Jan 15 </u>NOT on the day it is payable.

Hence, retained earnings will reduce by $25,000

In 20X5, Elm Corp. bought 10,000 shares of Oil Corp. at a cost of $20,000. On January 15, 20X6, Elm declared a property dividend of the Oil stock to shareholders of record on February 1, 20X6, payable on February 15, 20X6. During 20X6, the Oil stock had the following market values:  

January 15

$25,000

February 1

26,000

February 15

liberstina [14]
Given:
Controllable margin = 60,000
sales = 400,000
return on investments = 10%

Return on investments = net profit / average operating assets

10% = 60,000 / ave. operating assets.

Average operating assets = 60,000 / 10%
Average operating assets = 600,000

Griffin's average operating assets will be 600,000 when its return on investment is 10%.

The principle prescribing that financial statements reflect the assumption that the business will continue operating instead of
Simora [160]

Answer:

A. Going-concern principle

Explanation:

The correct Choice is A.

This concept assumes that the business unit will continue operating under the same economic conditions and in the same general environment. But it does not assume that the business unit will be profitable as long as it exists.

Accounting is based on the assumption that business unit will be operating for long. When a business is started , it is assumed that the business will not be dissolved in the near future. The accounting system provides a continuous record of the performance of the business throughout its existence.
