Answer:

a) issuance of bonds:

Cash/bank $250000

                  Bonds $250000

b) Interest payment

Interest expense  $12500 ($25000×6÷12)

                         cash/bank  $12500

c) Adjusting entry

Interest expense $12500 ($25000×6÷12)

                       cash/bank  $12500

Explanation:

Crane has used bonds as a long-term source of finance. The bonds are redeemable after five years which means Crane will have to create a liability and record cash received. The interest paid each year is coupon rate agreed upon issuance of bonds. Interest is calculated on par value of the bond, therefore the interest payment for the year is $25000 ($250000×10%), payable on a half yearly basis. So the interest payment of $25000 will be split between six months and expense recognized.

The journal entries are as follows:-

a) issuance of bonds:

Cash/bank $250000

                  Bonds $250000

b) Interest payment

Interest expense  $12500 ($25000×6÷12)

                         cash/bank  $12500

c) Adjusting entry

Interest expense $12500 ($25000×6÷12)

                       cash/bank  $12500

Adjusting entries are passed at the year end in order to comply with the accruals concept of accounting which requires entities to recognize expenses and revenues in the year they are incurred and earned. So the remaining interest payment (july to dec) relates to the current financial year and hence entry c (above) is recorded to conclude the financial year.

Why might the current and quick ratios for the electric utility and the​ fast-food stock be so much lower than the same ratios f
yulyashka [42]

Current ratio is a comparison of current assets to current liabilities, calculated by dividing your current assets by your current liabilities.

The quick ratio compares the total amount of cash + marketable securities + accounts receivable to the amount of current liabilities.

A. Inventory would be a factor in both of these ration (assets). In both of these industries, inventory would be low. You cannot readily stockpile energy and burgers are perishable items.

B. It is true that both of these industries would have low outstanding accounts receivable because people will need their power to survive and fast food places don't offer credit.

C. These two industries deal with cash mainly. Cash doesn't have to be physical currency, but accounts that can easily be paid.

D. Low current and quick ratios are actually signs of good management not poor management.

All of the above are correct EXCEPT answer D.

Insurance policies often contain a covenant of good faith and fair dealing. Even if the clause is not in the policy, often court
Oxana [17]

Answer:

The <em>covenant of good faith and fair dealing</em> simply requires all the parties to a contract to deal in an even-handed manner such that one party's action does not frustrate the other or prevent the other from getting the benefits of that contract.

In insurance, this covenant is sometimes captured under the heading <em>Uberrima fides</em>. This is a Latin phrase meaning <em>"Utmost Good Faith".</em>

In insurance, this covenant is legally binding on all parties to ensure they each reveal every information that is material to the acceptance or rejection of the risk (on the part of the Insurer) whilst on the part of the Insured the insurer is required to be explicit regarding the terms of the policy as well as the calculations by which the premium is arrived at.

For example, if an Insurance company is looking at covering someone under it's Life Insurance Policy, the person taking out the contract must disclose whether or not the Insured has any latent health issues which might shorten their lifespan. If there is such a condition, the Insurance company may still take on the risk albeit at a relatively higher rate than a client without such medical conditions.

 

An Insurance Company may breach this covenant if they delay or refuse to reasonable settle claims due to the Insured. It may also arise if the Insurance company by some technical manipulation intentionally under settles an Insurance claim.

If for instance, a Comprehensive Insurance Policy files a valid claim, the Insurer may be liable for negligence and or intentional wrongdoing.

Cheers!
