Explanation:
We will calcualte the gordon model for the different rates of return:
Dividend_1 is next year dividends.
If dividends raise by 4% then:
0.45 x 1.04% = 0.468
<u>now we calculate for the different returns:</u>
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
