Answer:

B) Charge $400,000 to a loss in the year of extinguishment.

Explanation:

The $300,000 of amortized discount means that the corporation issued the bonds at a discount and was amortizing the discount over the bond's lifespan.  A discount is already a loss, and we must add the $100,000 that the corporation had to pay in excess (premium) to repurchase the bonds. So the total loss resulting from this bond issuance and repurchase was $300,000 + $100,000 = $400,000. Accrual accounting recognizes losses as soon as they happen, so this loss must be recognized as soon as the bonds are repurchased.

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

$716 and $12,300

Explanation:

Original Cost = $16,000 + $2,100

Original Cost = $18,100

Double decline rate = 100/5*2

Double decline rate = 40%

First Year Depreciation = $18,100*40%

First Year Depreciation = $7,240

Second Year Depreciation = $18,100*60%*40%

Second Year Depreciation = $18,100*0.60*0.40

Second Year Depreciation =  $4,344

Third Year Depreciation = ($18,100 - $7,240 -  $4,344 -$5,800)

Third Year Depreciation =  $716

Accumulated Depreciation = $7,240 +  $4,344 + $716

Accumulated Depreciation = $12,300
