Answer: B. a 2 point capital gain
Explanation:
Municipal Bonds have to be amortized using the straight-line method and this applied to both newly issued or bonds being traded at a premium.
The bond in question is trading at 105 and so has a 5 point premium which needs to be amortized at 1 point a year for 5 years. As it was bought after two years, the amortization was 2 points which means the cost of the bond should be;
105 - 2 = 103
Yet it was sold for 105. The gain is therefore
= 105 - 103
= 2 point capital gain
Answer:
The correct answer is letter "A": Beer prices will go down.
Explanation:
Usually, when two large companies merge they take most or almost all part of their market causing a monopoly. This implies the recently-merged company to set the price of the goods according to what they believe is suitable which does not necessarily match with the consumers' expectations. However, for the companies in the case to prove the government that the merger will benefit the economy, they must show that the price of the beer will go down which is the opposite of what is expected under other regular situations.

Answer:
ACME Drilling should record impairment loss of $6.9 million
Explanation:
According to GAAP, when the fair value of an asset is below the net carrying amount of that asset ( Asset's historical cost - Asset's accumulated depreciation or the net book value of the asset), the Company should record it as asset impairment loss.
In ACME's case, the net book value is $18.6 million while the estimated fair value is only $11.7 million meaning that the platform is actually worth less than it is recorded on ACME's book. Thus, an impairment loss of $6.9 million should be recorded ( $18.6 million - $11.7 million) to realize the fair value of the oil-drilling platform.
The sum of projected sum of future cash flows in this case is not suitable to be used to determine the oil-drilling platform because it has not been discounted to the present value amount, and also, it is not appropriate under GAAP.
