A. $3

B. $257.142

C. $2.25

Explanation:

A. In 1925, the CPI was 18 and the price of a movie ticket was $0.30.

The current CPI is 180.

The price today will be

= $\frac{Price}{CPI}\ \times\ Current\ CPI$

= $\frac{0.3}{18}\ \times\ 180$

= $3

B. In 1930, the CPI was 14 and a cook earned $20 a week.

The current CPI is 180.

The price today will be

= $\frac{Price}{CPI}\ \times\ Current\ CPI$

= $\frac{20}{14}\ \times\ 180$

= $257.142

C. In 1940, the CPI was 16 and a gallon of gas cost $0.20.

The current CPI is 180.

The price today will be

= $\frac{Price}{CPI}\ \times\ Current\ CPI$

= $\frac{0.2}{16}\ \times\ 180$

= $2.25

Explanation:

Giving the following information we need to calculate the number of employees:

Total production= 60000

Hours per worker= 160 hours

labor productivity= 0,15

It takes to a single employee= 1/0,15= 6,67 hours to make a heater.

Calculation of average interest rate for general debt

Amount Rate Interest

Bonds $8,000,000 11% $880,000

Long term rate $2,000,000 6% $120,000

Total $10,000,000 $1,000,000

Average interest rate = $1,000,000 / $10,000,000

Average interest rate = 10%

Calculation of interest capitalized

Note: General debt = $3,038,000 - $2,400,000 = $638,000

Answer:

discount on bonds payable 18,383,020.48 debit

other comprehensive income 18,383,020.48 credit

--to adjust Bonds at 12/31/2021 market value --

other comprehensive income 4.739.000‬ debit

discount on bonds payable 4.739.000‬ credit

--to adjust Bonds at 12/31/2022 market value --

Explanation:

We solve for the book value at year-end using effective rate

First year:

First payment

830,000,000 x 5.5% = 45,650,000

767,557,868 x 6.0% = 46,053,472.08

Amortization 403,472.08

Second Payment

830,000,000 x 5.5% = 45,650,000

(767,557,868 + 403,472.08) x 6.0% = 46,077,680.4

Amortization 427680.4

Carrying value at year-end

767,557,868 + 403,472.08 + 427,680.40 = 768,389,020.48

We need to recognize a deferred gain for the difference between these and the 750,000,000 market value at December 31th

which is $ 18,383,020.48 as these as not been realized it will be part of other comprehensive income

We will increase the discount to adjust the bonds payable account net balance.

Second year:

We repeat the process

First Payment:

830,000,000 x 5.5% = 45,650,000

Interest expense 750,000,000 x 6% = 45,000,000

Amortization 650000

Carrying value 750,000,000 + 650,000 = 750,650,000

Second Payment:

830,000,000 x 5.5% = 45,650,000

750,650,000 x 6% = 45,039,000

Amortization 611000

Carrying Value 750,650,000 + 611,000 = 751,261,000

Wer now compare this with the 756,000,000

as now the debt of the company has increased we are going to decrease the discounttand recognize a deferred loss through other comprehensive income as it wasn't realized

756,000,000 - 751,261,000 = 4.739.000‬
