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.

earnstyle [38]

The challenge of indirect benefits occurs when the social, economic, or environmental benefits of a company's sustainability commitments do not directly benefit primary customers or clients.

<u>Explanation:</u>

An indirect gain is a profit which can not be directly measured but is still appreciated-as opposed to the more readily quantified direct benefits like decreased headcount or increased revenue. The indirect advantages progress only when the customers or clients are also benefited, otherwise one or another day the failure of such tactics, destruction of  image of firm, etc would happen.

Labor productivity is the best illustration of a technology's indirect gain; greater performance does not necessarily contribute to the elimination of an ongoing cost element but is understood in the context that it helps workers to do their roles better and quicker.
