1. Issuance of the bonds:

Debit Cash $9,594,415

Debit Bond Discounts $405,585

Credit Bonds Liability $10,000,000

To record the issuance of the bonds at a discount.

2. June 30:

Debit Bond Interest Expense $383,777

Credit Cash $350,000

Credit Amortization of Bond Discount $33,777

To record the first interest payment and amortization of bond discount.

3. December 31:

Debit Bond Interest Expense $385,128

Credit Cash $350,000

Credit Amortization of Bond Discount $35,128

To record the second interest payment and amortization of bond discount.

b. The amount of the bond interest expense for the first year:

June 30: Bonds' Interest expense = $383,777

Dec. 31: Bonds' Interest expense = $385,128

Total bond interest expense for the first year = $768,905

c. Chin Company was able to issue the bonds for only $9,594,415 rather than for the face amount of $10,000,000 because the bonds were issued at a discount and not face value. Bonds can be issued at face value, discount, or premium, depending on the prevailing investor's sentiments and the attractiveness of the bonds to investors.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations

Face value of bonds = $10 million

Discounted value (Cash receipt) = $9,594,415

Total amount of discount = $405,585

Bond's interest rate = 7%

Market yield = 8%

Bond maturity period = 5 years

Payment period = semiannually

Issuance of the bonds:

Cash $9,594,415 Bond Discounts $405,585 Bonds Liability $10,000,000

June 30:

Cash payment for interest = $350,000 ($10,000,000 * 3.5%)

Bonds' Interest expense = $383,777 ($9,594,415 * 4%)

Amortization of bond discount = $33,777 ($383,777 - $350,000)

Bond book value = $9,628,192 ($9,594,415 + $33,777)

December 31:

Cash payment for interest = $350,000 ($10,000,000 * 3.5%)

Bonds' Interest expense = $385,128 ($9,628,192 * 4%)

Amortization of bond discount = $35,128 ( $385,128 - $350,000)

Bond book value = $9,663,410 ($9,628,192 + $35,218)

Some estimates have been presented to Charlene, the Director of Operations (DO) at Holly Farms, which is considering alternative

Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

First, we need to sort out the data given properly, so that we can answer to the best.

Data Given:

For Chamber D103:

Installed Cost = -400,000 USD

Annual Operating Cost Per Year = -4000 USD

Salvage Value 10% of P = 40,000 USD

Life = 3 years

Similarly,

For Chamber 490G:

For Chamber D103:

Installed Cost = -250,000 USD

Annual Operating Cost Per Year = -3000 USD

Salvage Value 10% of P = 25,000 USD

Life = 2 years

For Chamber D103

AW Chamber D103 = -400,000 x (A/P, 10%, 3) + 40000 x (A/F,10%, 3) - 4000

So,

(A/P, 10%, 3) = 0.40211 (from the compound interest table )

(A/F,10%, 3) = 0.30211

AW Chamber D103 = -400,000 x 0.40211 + 40000 x 0.30211 - 4000

AW Chamber D103 = -152,760 USD

For Chamber 490G:

AW Chamber 490G = -250,000 x (A/P,10%,2) + 25000 x (A/F,10%, 2) - 3000

So,

(A/P,10%,2) = 0.5762

(A/F,10%, 2) = 0.4762

AW Chamber 490G = -250,000 x 0.5762 + 25000 x 0.4762 - 3000

AW Chamber 490G = -135,143 USD

So, after evaluating both the chambers using the AW method, more economical is the chamber 490G.

Now, we need to change the values to check whether the chamber selection can be changed or not:

so, New values for Chamber D103

P = -300,000 and Salvage value of 30,000

For Chamber D103

AW Chamber D103 = -300,000 x (A/P, 10%, 3) + 30000 x (A/F,10%, 3) - 4000

So,

(A/P, 10%, 3) = 0.40211 (from the compound interest table )

(A/F,10%, 3) = 0.30211

AW Chamber D103 = -300,000 x 0.40211 + 30,000 x 0.30211 - 4000

AW Chamber D103 = -115,570 USD

New Values for Chamber D103

P = -500,000 and the Salvage Value = 50,000

AW Chamber D103 = -300,000 x (A/P, 10%, 3) + 30000 x (A/F,10%, 3) - 4000

So,

(A/P, 10%, 3) = 0.40211 (from the compound interest table )

(A/F,10%, 3) = 0.30211

AW Chamber D103 = -500,000 x 0.40211 + 50,000 x 0.30211 - 4000

AW Chamber D103 = -189,950 USD

Hence,

At P = 300,000 will definitely change the selection to D103 Chamber.
