Beginning of a rellationship
Answer:
$42,480
Explanation:
Given that,
Value of bonds = $800,000
Interest rate = 10%
Selling price of bond (Book value) = $708,000
Priced to yield = 12%
The semi-annual yield is calculated as follows:
= 12% / 2 (because the interest is payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31)
= 6%
Therefore, the semi-annual bond interest expense:
= Selling price of bond × semi-annual yield
= $708,000 × 6%
= $42,480
Hence, the Blair should report bond interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2021 in the amount of $42,480.
But the actual cash paid for the interest expense will be:
= (Value of bonds × Interest rate on bonds)
= [$800,000 × (10%/2)]
= $800,000 × 5%
= $40,000
So, the amortization for bond discount is the difference between actual cash paid and bond interest expense:
= $42,480 - $40,000
= $2,480

Answer:
Huprey Co.
Identifying the accounting treatment for each claim as either (a) a liability that is recorded or (b) an item described in notes to its financial statements:
1. Huprey (defendant) estimates that a pending lawsuit could result in damages of $1,550,000; it is unlikely that the plaintiff will win the case.a. A liability that is recorded.
b. An item described in notes to its financial statements.
2. Huprey faces a loss on a pending lawsuit that it is unlikely to lose; the amount is reasonably estimable.
a. An item described in notes to its financial statements. b. A liability that is recorded.
3. Huprey faces a probable loss on a pending lawsuit; the amount is reasonably estimable.a. An item described in notes to its financial statements.
b. A liability that is recorded.
Explanation:
Huprey Co. will recognize and record contingent liabilities in its accounts when it can be reasonably established that the future event will occur and the amount of the liability can be reasonably estimated. The implication is that Huprey Co. must establish two things before a contingent liability is recognized and recorded. One is that the probability or the likelihood or the chance that the event will happen exists and can be estimated. With the probability estimate, it becomes possible for Huprey Co. to also estimate the amount that the happening of the event will cost it.
