Credit Bond Premium Amortization $1,000

To record the amortization of the premium for six months using the straight-line method.

Explanation:

a) Common Stock issued at $30 with $20 par value means that the shares were issued at above par value.  The difference is accounted for in a separate account called Additional Paid-in Capital.  The same applies to the preferred stock issued at above par value.

b) The face value of the Bonds is $500,000 but issued at a premium.  The total premium is $20,000 ($500,000 x 0.04).

c) Dividends on the Common Stock = $0.50 * 100,000 shares = $50,000.  The preferred stock dividends = $1.00 * 20,000 = $20,000.

d) Treasury Stock represents the value of common stock repurchased or reissued from stockholders by the company.  There are two methods to treat the above or below par value at which the shares are repurchased or issued.  One method is the costing method where the above or below par value is not taken to a separate account, but everything is treated in the Treasury Stock account.  The other method is the par value method.  This treats the above or below par value in the Additional Paid-in Capital account.  This is the method adopted here.  Note that Treasury Stock is a contra account to the Common Stock.

e) Bond Premium Amortization (straight-line method) is calculated as follows: $20,000/10 *6/12 = $1,000 for six months.  A Premium on Bonds arises when the bonds are trading at above the face value.  The amortization of Bond Premium is the write-down of the excess premium paid or received over and above the face value of the Bond.  In this case, we used the straight-line method.

MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is letter "B": are essential to the reallocation of resources from less desired to more desired goods.

Explanation:

Economic profit is the difference between the company's profits from revenue and the overall opportunity cost. The difference between accounting profit and economic profit is significant. Only total revenue minus the explicit cost of producing goods or services is considered to calculate the accounting profit.

The economic profit is called a loss if after subtracting the opportunity costs from revenue the figure is negative. <em>Both profit or losses determine how resources will be allocated in a company prioritizing the more desired goods or those who are needed for the firm's operations.</em>

barxatty [35]

Option C

An increase in the real wage would result in a: movement along the labor demand curve, causing a decrease in the number of workers hired by the firm.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The wage rate is circumscribed by the crossing of supply and demand for labor. The demand curve depends on the marginal product of labor and the cost of the good labor originates.

A variation in the wage or payroll will end in a shift in the amount necessitated of labor. If the wage rate increases, organizations will require to hire fewer employees. The quantity of labor demanded will decline, and there will be a movement skyward on the demand curve.

What economic activities are not included in GDP?
laiz [17]
 
1. Illegal and unreported economic activity:  While goods such as illegal drugs, gambling, and prostitution are sold in markets, the transactions are hidden for obvious reasons.
 
2. Home production and bartered goods/services:  If cash doesn't change hands, the transaction will not be included in GDP.  One of the somewhat misleading aspects of GDP is that whether certain things are included depends not on the nature of the good or service, but whether it was (openly) exchanged for cash.
