Brooks uses the straight-line method of amortization. Brooks Company redeemed the bonds on January 1, 2018

<u>The amount of gain reported by Brooks its 2018 income statement relative to this transaction is </u>$190,800

<u></u>

Explanation:

We know that the formula for carrying value is

<u> Carrying value =Face value - Unamortized discount</u>

<u> Bonds have a face value of $200,000</u>

<u>Brooks Company received proceeds of $188,500</u>

200,000 - 188,500 = 11,500 ( unamortized discount )

11,500 / 20 = 575 semiannual discount amortization

575 x 4 = 2,300 discount amortized after 4 interest payment periods.

11,500 - 2,300 = 9,200 <u>unamortized discount</u>

200,000 - 9,200 = $190,800<u> (Carrying Value)</u>

<u>The amount of gain reported by Brooks its 2018 income statement relative to this transaction is </u>$190,800

⇒ $Depreciation\ expense= \$ 50000\times \frac{2}{5}$

∴ $Depreciation\ expense= \$ 20000$

Maru [420]

Answer:

$ 2,209,797.96

Explanation:

Given:

Salary = $100,000

Salary investment rate = 13%

Salary increase rate(g) = 5%

number of year = 25

Annual rate of return(i) = 11%

Calculation:

Salary invested = $100,000*13% = $13,000

calculation of present worth

$P=A[\frac{1-(1+g)^n(1+i)^{-n}}{i-g}] \\P=13000[\frac{1-(1+0.05)^{25}(1+0.11)^{-25}}{0.11-0.05}] \\P=13000[\frac{1-(1.05)^{25}(1.11)^{-25}}{0.06}] \\P=13000[\frac{1-(3.386354)(0.073608086)}{0.06}]\\\\P=13000[\frac{1-0.249263}{0.06}]\\\\ P=13000[12.5122827]\\\\\\P= 162,659.675$

$Future worth = P(1+i)^n\\ = 162,659.675(1+0.11)^{25}\\ = 2,209,797.96$

Answer:

Fair Value method, and only a portion of Ima's 2004 dividends represent earnings after Pal's acquisition.

Explanation:

The part of the dividend that reduce the carrying value of the investment can be said to be a liquidating dividend. Liquidating dividend is said to have occurred when the payment made by the investee is higher than the income that was earned in the course of the period in which the shares of the investee was owned by the investor.

On the other hand, the cost method treats liquidating dividends as spend or reduction in the investment account and treats normal dividend as income. Hence it is impossible for the firm to use equity method.

This is because dividend are seen as a reduction in investment account under the equity method. This means that dividends received cannot be taken as income in this method, hence C and D are wrong.

Whistleblowing however helps in contributing to entities staying ethical because they'd rather avoid the bad publicity that comes with it and this is why most companies have a whistleblowing policy to make it easier for people to come forward.

Whistleblowing can be done to the Government, the press or even the entity at fault itself.
