On January 1, 2018, Plummer Company issued $250,000 of 4%, five-year bonds payable at 102. Plummer Company has extra cash an

Anna [14]

Answer:

1. Carrying amount = $250,000

2. Cash paid to retire bond = $225,000

3. Gain on the retirement = $25,000

Explanation:

1. What is Plummer Company's carrying amount of the bonds payable on the retirement date?

Carrying amount of a bond payable on the retirement date is its par value amount.

Therefore, Plummer Company's carrying amount of the bonds payable on the retirement date is $100 par value for 2,500 units with a total carrying amount of $250,000.

2. How much cash must Plummer Company pay to retire the bondspayable?

Units of bond = $250,000/$100 = 2,500 units.

Since Plummer pays the market price of $90 to retire the bonds, cash amount Plummer Company must pay to retire the bonds payable can be calculated as follows:

Cash paid to retire bonds = 25,000 * $90 = $225,000

3.Compute Plummer Company's gain or loss on the retirement of the bonds payable.

Gain (loss) = Carrying amount - Cash paid on retirement = $250,000 - $225,000 = $25,000

In three to four sentences, explain how an increase in government spending can increase the national debt.

IgorLugansk [536]

If the government spends more money, but doesn't increase taxes, they have to borrow money from other countries in order to spend it. If we borrow money from other countries, then our country owes their country. When we owe something, that is called debt.

Assume that you are a high-level manager for a shoe manufacturer. You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by pr

Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The issue here is that you need to balance your company's profits and possible negative due to bad press.

On one side (the good and righteous side), if you do not produce shoes in Asia, your long term survival economic is doubtful, but people view your company as a company that does the right thing no matter what. Will it increase sales? Theoretically it should, but in practice it doesn't. Are Nike sales hurt because each shoe is produced in an Asian country that pays $0.25 per day? No, they aren't. The same applies to Reebok, Adidas, Puma, New Balance and every single major shoe manufacturer in the world. Bad press hurt tuna back in the 80's, but some companies are not affected by it.

The alternative (the evil, dark side of the force side) results in your company being able to survive on the long term. It will not necessarily mean that your company will grow and become the world's largest shoe manufacturer, but you will be able to survive and continue to operate.

There is also a trick that you can use to avoid reputational damage and bad press, and that is to establish a foreign subsidiary in Indonesia using a different name. Then your foreign subsidiary sells you the manufactured goods, and the blame fall son the subsidiary. Believe it or not, that simple solution is used by most corporations including clothing manufacturers, electronics, toys, etc.

If you analyze this from an ethical point of view, the alternative is much simpler. Producing in Indonesia (or India, or Burma, or Pakistan, or Vietnam, etc.) and paying a $100 salary will allow a family to live a very decent life and probably even prosper. They will have a much better lifestyle than the rest of their neighborhood. Each Indonesian worker represents one less poor family in Indonesia. On the other hand, American families will probably get hurt, but it is also much easier for an American worker to get another job that pays a normal wage (in US standards) and allows them to live well.

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The answer is: Their inventory levels will increase

Explanation:

When companies use the Just in Time (JIT) they reduce their ordinary inventory to a minimum level, without any safety stock and that help them lower costs and improve their efficiency.

Since Hanson is changing from the JIT inventory system to a more traditional inventory system, their inventory levels should increase to include certain safety stock levels.
