For the following investments, identify whether they are: Trading debt securities. Available-for-sale debt securities. Held-to-m

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

(a) A bond that will mature in 4 years was bought 1 month ago when the price dropped. As soon as the value increases, which is expected next month, it will be sold. - Trading Debt Securities

Trading debt securities such as these are held only for a short time before they are sold with the goal being short term profit.

(b) 10% of the outstanding stock of Farm-Co was purchased. The company is planning on eventually getting a total of 30% of its outstanding stock. - None of the Above

This is an Equity Investment.

(c) Bonds were purchased in December of this year. The bonds are expected to be sold in January of next year. - Trading Debt Securities

Like the bond in (a), this is being held for a short while only and then it will be sold so it is a Trading debt security.

(d) Bonds that will mature in 5 years are purchased. The company would like to hold them until they mature, but money has been tight recently and they may need to be sold. - Available-for-sale debt securities

Available for sale debt securities are to be sold before maturity and therefore have no certain selling time. The bond above has no selling time as it might be sold at any point so it is an Available-for-sale debt security.

(e) Preferred stock was purchased for its constant dividend. The company is planning to hold the preferred stock for a long time. - None of the above.

This is an Equity investment as well.

(f) A bond that matures in 10 years was purchased. The company is investing money set aside for an expansion project planned 10 years from now. - Held-to-maturity debt securities.

Held to Maturity bonds are bought with no intention of selling and the company hopes to hold them till they mature like this bond which will be held for 10 years.

Ahat [919]

Answer:

Diluted earnings per share for 2021 is: $2.19 per share.

Explanation:

Amount of increase in net income if bonds are converted = Total value of convertible bonds * Bond rate * (100% - Tax rate) = $1580000 * 4% * (100% - 35%) = $41,080

Total earnings available to Equity Shareholders = Net income + Amount of increase in net income if bonds are converted = $599000 + $41,080 = $640,080

Number of shares of common stock = 205,000

Number of common shares obtainable from preferred stock = 39,800

Number of common shares obtainable from convertible bonds = (Total value of convertible bonds / $1,000) * 30 = ($1580000 / $1,000) * 30 = 47,400

Total number of shares outstanding = Number of shares of common stock + Number of common shares obtainable from preferred stock + Number of common shares obtainable from convertible bonds = 205,000 + 39,800 + 47,400 = 292,200

Diluted earnings per share = Total earnings available to Equity Shareholders / Total number of shares outstanding = $640,080 / 292,200 = $2.19 per share

Therefore, we have:

Diluted earnings per share for 2021 is: $2.19 per share.
