On July 1, 20x1, Fox Co. purchased as a held-to-maturity investment $5,000,000 of Owl, Inc.'s 8% bonds for $4,580,000, including

Dimas [21]

Answer:

The amount fox should report on Dec 31,20x1 = $4,556,500

Explanation:

The carrying amount of bonds = $4,580,000 - $50,000

The carrying amount of bonds = $4,530,000

Amortization of discount from july 1 to dec 31 (6 months):

Interest Revenue = $4,530,000* 10% * 6/12

Interest Revenue= $226500

Interest Receivable = $5,000,000 * 8% * 6/12

Interest Receivable = $200000

Discount amortized =Interest Revenue - Interest Receivable

Discount amortized = $226500 - $200000

Discount amortized = $26500

So:

The amount fox should report on Dec 31,20x1 = $4,530,000 + $26500

The amount fox should report on Dec 31,20x1 = $4,556,500

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

There are no options listed, but what I can tell you for sure is that John's actions were both unethical and illegal.

What John did is unethical because it is not moral and it goes against all the principles that guide professional conduct. John also did something illegal because he was an accomplice in committing fraud against the company. He knowingly benefited from the accountant's illegal actions, and that is basically the legal definition of an accomplice to a crime.

The market demand function for corn is Qd = 5 15 - 2P and the market supply function is Qs= 5P- 6, both quantities measured in b

GaryK [48]

Answer:

The Producer surplus = 19.6.

consumer surplus = 12.25.

Aggregate supply = 31.85.

Explanation:

Normally, the demand equilibrium function equals to supply equilibrium function will get us the price which is $3 that is Qd = Qs. Hence, if we equate both function together like;

15 - 2P = 5P - 6.

15 +6 = 5P + 2P.

21 = 7P.

P = $3.

Thus, Qd = 15 - 2P= 15 - 2(3) = 15 - 6 = 9 units.

Qs = 5P - 6 = 5(3) - 6 = 15 - 6 = 9.

Therefore, if the price is going to be Increased by $4, we will have that;

Qd = 15 - 2P= 15 - 2(4) = 15 - 8 = 7 units.

=> The Producer surplus = 1/2 × 14 (4 - 1.2) = 19.6.

=> consumer surplus = 1/2 × 7 (7.5 - 4) = 12.25.

Aggregate supply = Producer surplus + consumer surplus = 19.6 + 12.25 = 31.85.
