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

Darina [25.2K]

Answer: Inelastic demand

Explanation:

When new restaurants have opened in College town in recent years, the supply for restaurant meals increase. This will lead to a rightward shift in the supply curve for restaurant meals leading to a fall in the price and an increase in the quantity. The fall in price will be larger the more inelastic demand is.  When demand is more elastic then a fall in price will be less when supply increases.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

The depreciation expense for 2020 is $215,100

Explanation:

Given

Claxton Company purchased a van on January​ 1, 2018, for​ $820,000.

Useful life = 5 years

Residual value = $103,000

Annual depreciation = ($820,000- $103,000)/5

                                 = $717,000/5

                                = $143,400

At the beginning of​ 2020, the asset would have been depreciated for 2 years (2018 and 2019)

Net book value = $820,000 - 2($143,400)

                          = $533,200

Since the residual value remains the same after a revision of the estimated useful life from 5 years to 4 years

The asset would only have 2 years left for depreciation.

Annual depreciation = ($533,200 - $103,000)/2

                                  = $430,200/2

                                  = $215,100

7. Farmer sells flour to a baker for RM2. The baker uses the flour to make bread, which is sold for RM3. What is the total contr
erica [24]

Answer: RM3

Explanation:

Gross domestic product has to do with the monetary value of the goods that are produced in a particular economy. In this case, the total contribution will be RM3 since it's the final amount that the bread is sold.

It should be noted that RM2 in this case is the intermediate good and should therefore bit be included so that there won't be an overstatement of the GDP and to prevent double counting.

disa [49]
<span>Crop rotation. Crop rotation is growing a series of dissimilar or different types of crops in the same plot in sequenced seasons. Peas, like other legumes, are nitrogen fixing crop. They recover depleted nitrogen and other nutrients squeezed out by the organic corn, making nitrogen available to the soil for use again. This practice takes advantage of the uniqueness of each crop make use of diverse natural and ecological resources present in the soil to maximize yield and increase output. The organic corn requires a lot of nutrient for root growth and with repeated use, the available nutrients has gotten depleted. Planting legumious crops which are good nitrogen-fixers will help to recover lost nutrient.</span>

victus00 [196]

Answer:

Because this market is a monopolistically competitive market, you can tell that it is in long-run equilibrium by the fact that P = ATC, P>ATC, MR =MC, or MR>MC at the optimal quantity.  Furthermore, the quantity the firm produces in long-run equilibrium is the efficient scale. True False

This indicates that there is a markup on marginal cost in the market for shirts. True False

Explanation:

In the long run, monopolistically-competitive entities produce at a level where marginal cost and marginal revenue are equal. This makes it impossible for individual companies to sell their products at prices above the average cost. This situation means that monopolistically-competitive companies will always earn zero economic profit in the long run.
