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

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

A. Project A

B. Project A has lowest Standard Deviation

C. Project D

Explanation:

A.

The higher the range, the more risky the project is. Based on the table, project A has the smallest range, and therefore is the least risky based on range.

B.

The standard deviation is not scale-free, i.e. it is not adjusted for the level of returns. Hence, a project that has the same distribution of returns, but a higher average return, will have a higher standard deviation. But the project is not any more risky. Hence, the standard deviation might not be an appropriate measure of risk.

C.

The Coefficient of Variation (CV) is calculated as follows:

CV = Standard deviation / expected return

Applying this formula, the coefficient of variation for each project is:

Project A: 2.9% / 12.0% = 0.242

Project B: 3.2% / 12.5% = 0.256

Project C: 3.5% / 13.0% = 0.269

Project D: 3.0% / 12.8% = 0.23 4

Based on the coefficient of variation, project D has the lowest coefficient. It means that the project has the lowest risk per unit of return generated, and thus is the best project and should be chosen.
