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.

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

X - number of units sold

Total cost for production = 1,500,000 + 1600X

Total cost for purchasing = 2000X

a.  For 4000 units sold

Total cost for production = 1,500,000 + 1600 * 4000 = $7,900,000

Total cost for purchasing = 2000* 4000 =  $8,000,000

In this case producing is cheaper. Therefore, it is better to produce

b. Y - break-even point

Then :  1,500,000 + 1600 * Y = 2000* Y

So 1,500,000 = 400 Y

Y = 3750

At №of units less than 3750 purchasing will be the better option

And above 3750 producing will be the better option

As you read the business news, you come across an advertisement for a bond mutual fund – a fund that pools the investments fro
Alika [10]

Answer:

Follows are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

Follows are the two ways of describing its high return:

Firstly, the mutual fund is invested in pretty unstable debt and is reciprocating with greater yields for taking a risk.

Secondly, during every decrease in bond yields, the finance kept bonds so the income on stocks exceeded this same rate of interest significantly. Remember that bond costs skyrocket as interest rates drop as well as give the purchaser an investment income. Because once interest rates are now close to zero, it's also likely that they could increase as well as the owners would then lose their money. Its high return could be due to a drop in interest rates, and not only will it not be replicated, but the low or even low return will almost definitely be followed by either a rise in interest rates.

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Weakness 1 is signed paper are not stored in safe and secured location.

Weakness 2 is approval is not taken from any manager or person before purchasing the item from customers.

Explanation:

The store should keep a track in the system for the purchase of items from its customers. The store should get approval before purchasing the product and the cash dealing should be assigned to designated person who will be responsible for the payment to its customers. This will reduce chances of fraud as the cash will be handled by only one person and tracking will be easy.
