On January 1, 2013, Nichols Corporation granted 10,000 options to key executives. Each option allows the executive to purchase o

ne share of Nichols’ $5 par value common stock at a price of $20 per share. The options were exercisable within a 2-year period beginning January 1, 2015, if the grantee is still employed by the company at the time of the exercise. On the grant date, Nichols’ stock was trading at $25 per share, and a fair value option-pricing model determines total compensation to be $400,000.
On May 1, 2015, 8,000 options were exercised when the market price of Nichols’ stock was $30 per share. The remaining options lapsed in 2017 because executives decided not to exercise their options.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

Increase Rent Expense, $4,000; decrease Prepaid Rent, $4,000.

Explanation:

Since Fisher Shoe Store paid $24,000 to Acme Realty for 6 months rent beginning July 1, we will calculate monthly rent amount by:

24,000/6 = $4,000

Financial statements are prepared on July 31, so we will adjust the July rent in the adjusting entry.

We will debit the rent expense by $4,000 and credit the prepaid rent which is an asset to decrease it by an amount of $4,000.

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

tractor   35,127,42 debit

      note payable         32,172.42  credit

     cash                           3,000     credit

--to record issuance--

Note payale end of 2018

39,584.19

note payables at Dec 31th

Note payable at the end of 2019

39,584.19

note payables at Dec 31th

Explanation:

As the note has zero.interest we discount the note to get the present value:

\frac{Maturity}{(1 + rate)^{time} } = PV  

Maturity  $44,000.0000  

time   3.00  

rate  0.11

\frac{44000}{(1 + 0.11)^{3} } = PV  

PV   32,172.42  

The difference will be a discount that will acrrue interest overtime.

the truck will enter the accounting net of interest charges thus:

3,000 downpayment + 32,127.42 = 35,127.42‬

interest will be: 32,127.42 x 1.11 = 32,127.41

<u><em>Then, do the same for 2019</em></u>

(32,127.41 + 3,532.0162) x 1.11 = 39,584.19
