Answer: Capital structure
Explanation: In simple words, capital structure refers to the proportion of different securities that an organisation uses as a combination to fund its operations. In other words, the amount of debt and equity in total capital in hand of the business is termed as capital structure.
Capital structure is of high importance to the investors as it directly impacts the liquidity and profitability of the organisation.
The ability of a company to bear its short term obligation is called liquidity and the ability to generate profit with given amount of resources is called profitability.
Answer:
cash 96,535 debit
discount on BP 3,465 debit
Bonds Payable 100,000 credit
Explanation:
We need to determinate the price at which the bonds were issued:
Which is the present value of the coupon payment and maturity
Coupon payment: 100,000 x 10% / 2 = 5,000
time 4 (2 years x 2 payment per year)
rate 0.06 (12% annual / 2 = 6% semiannual)
PV $17,325.5281
Maturity (face value) $100,000.00
time 4.00
rate 0.06
PV 79,209.37
PV c $17,325.5281
PV m $79,209.3663
Total $96,534.8944
As the bonds are issued below face value there is a discount:
100,000 - 96,535 = 3,465
the entry will recognize the cash procceds and the creation of a liaiblity
we will also use an auxiliar account for the discount on the bonds
