Answer:

A) July 1, 2016, 3% bonds are acquired as long term investment.

Dr Investment in 3% bonds 720,000

    Cr Cash 600,000

    Cr Discount on investment in 3% bonds 120,000

B) December 31, 2016, interest earned from investment in 3% bonds.

Dr Cash 10,800

Dr Discount on investment in 3% bonds 1,200

    Cr Interest revenue 12,000

Explanation:

the bonds' face value is $720,000 but since the company paid only $600,000 for them, it means that it bought them at a discount price. Therefore, the discount, $720,000 - $600,000 = $120,000, must be recorded, and later amortized.

To calculate the amount of interest revenue that will be amortized as discount on investment:

(bonds' market price x market interest rate x 1/2) - (bonds' face value x coupon rate x 1/2) = ($600,000 x 4% x 1/2) - ($720,000 x 3% x 1/2) = $12,000 - $10,800 = $1,200

Answer:

(a)

July 1, 2016

Dr. Investment in Bonds $720,000

Cr. Discount on Bonds   $120,000

Cr. Cash                           $600,000

(b)

December 31, 2016

Dr. Cash                           $10,800

Dr. Discount on Bonds   $1200

Cr. Interest Income         $12,000

Explanation:

Investment in the bonds with intention to hold the bond until maturity is classified as the fixed investment and reported in the fixed assets section of the balance sheet.

When the bond is purchased below the face value of the bond, it is issued on discount by the issuer. This discount will be recorded and amortized over the bond life to maturity. Amortized discount will be added to the interest received amount to adjust this value in interest income.

Interest Received = Face value x Coupon rate x 6/12 = $720,000 x 3% x 6/12 = $10,800 semiannually

Interest income = Carrying Balance of Bond x market Rate x 6/12 = $600,000 x 4% x 6/12 = $12,000 semiannually

Now we will calculate the difference between the interest received and interest income to determine the value of discount amortized.

Amortized Discount = $12,000 - $10,800 = $1,200

Leon is 28 years old and pays cash for everything he buys. He has never had credit in his name and never missed or been late on
arlik [135]

Answer:

Nothing.

Explanation:

It is known that a good credit score generally comes from a history of managing money responsibly. This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t borrow money though; in fact, companies often like to see a track record of timely payments and sensible borrowing. In Leon's case, he has no dealings with credit cards as he makes all his transaction with physical cash; therefore he has no credit score in any way.

Leon has to work towards improving his poor credit score or need to build up credit history from nothing.
