Saul and Pepper have been friends since kindergarten. Both Saul and Pepper have good part-time jobs. Pepper deposits a portion o

f the money she earns in the bank each week. Saul, on the other hand, spends most of the money he earns on building his baseball card collection.
Recently, a rare 1975 Topps Mini George Brett rookie card has recently gone on sale for $100. This card would greatly enhance the value of Saul’s current collection. However, he does not have money to buy the card. He asks Pepper to loan him $100. He also agrees to sign an IOU to pay Pepper back her $100 plus 7% interest in one month; the time it will take him to have enough to pay her back.
Saul and Pepper’s friend, John, works at a supermarket. He has recently become good friends with Jackson, who works at the same supermarket. John likes Jackson because he is reliable and willing to cover work shifts for him. One day, Jackson asks John to loan him $100. He promises to pay John back in three months with 7% interest. He signs an IOU agreeing to this.
Required:
1. Which IOU pays the most money? Saul’s or Jackson’s? Why?
2. Which IOU seems less risky? Why?
3. Do you think Pepper should lend Saul the money? Should John lend money to Jackson? Why?

Answer:

1.  Both IOUs pay out the same amount of money ($107)

2. Saul’s loan from Pepper is less risky

3. Yes, Pepper should lend Saul the money. Yes, John should lend Jackson the money

Explanation:

1. Let calculate the amount of money to be paid on each IOU:

At the end of one month, Saul's IOU = $ (100 + 100 * 0.07) = $<u>107</u>

<u>Saul pays back $107 to Pepper at the end of one month</u>

At the end of three months, Jackson's IOU = $ (100 + 100 * 0.07) = $<u>107</u>

<u>Jackson pays back $107 to John at the end of three months</u>

<u />

Hence, both Saul and Jackson pay the same amount on their IOUs

Whilst both IOU of Saul and Jackson pay out the same amount, they do so under different time durations. Saul’s IOU to Pepper pays out the amount of money in a shorter duration of time (one month) as compared to that of Jackson which takes three months.

2. Saul's loan from Pepper is less risky. This is because Saul and Pepper have been friends for a verl long time (since kindergarten); that's ample time to have known one another. There is little to no surprise to be displayed between them as they pretty much know all there is to know about one another. This stands in contrast with Jackson with whom John recently became friends; although he has a reputation of being reliable but there is still a greater decree of uncertainty about him since its a new friendship. For example, Jackson could default on his IOU agreement.

On the other hand, while Saul's loan from Pepper is to be payed back in one month, Jackson's loan from John is to be returned over a time span of three months. This gives Jackson more time to spread out repayment much more conveniently than Saul but then again, that's what Saul spends most of his income on.

Saul is taking the loan to advance his investment in his baseball collection which could yield more income for Saul

<u>Hence, overall, Saul's IOU seems less risky</u>

3. Yes, Pepper should lend Saul the money. Asides the fact that they have been friends for over a decade (at the least), Saul already spends his income on building his baseball card collection anyway. It's a win-win for both party; Saul gets the satisfaction of adding an extra valuable card to his collection while Pepper gets the satisfaction of getting an extra $7 from her loan to Saul which she can add to her savings.

Yes, John should John lend the money to Jackson. Jackson already has a strong work and office etiquette which is evident by his reliability. Furthermore, if all goes as agreed, John and Jackson's new friendship could be further deepened and strengthened.

kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

Answers are journal entries, in the explanation box

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h3><u>Bonds:</u></h3>

Bonds is an interest bearing security or long term promissory note that a company represents while borrowing money with the interested investors.

<h2><u>Requirement 1:</u></h2><h2><u>Prepare the journal entries on August 1, 2021, to record:</u></h2><h3><u>Requirement 1(a):</u></h3>

The issuance of the bonds by Limbaugh (L)

<u>Solution:</u>

<u>Following is the journal entry for the issuance of bonds on August 1, 2021:</u>

<u>1st August 2021:</u>

Debit: Cash  $31,200,000 <u>(Working 1)</u>

Debit: Discount on bonds payable  $3,600,000 <u>(Working 3: Note 1)</u>

Credit: Bonds payable  $30,000,000

Credit: Equity - stock warrants $4,800,000 <u>(Working 2)</u>

<u>Working 1:</u>

Calculation of cash received:

Cash received = Face value × Issued rate

Cash received = $30,000,000 × 104%

Cash received = $31,200,000

<u></u>

<u>Working 2:</u>

<u>Calculation of amount of equity - stock warrants:</u>

Equity - stock warrants = Market price per warrant × number of warrants × number of bonds

Equity - stock warrants = $8 × 20 warrants × (30,000,000÷ 1,000 bonds)

Equity - stock warrants = $4,800,000

<u>Working 3: </u>

<u>Calculate the discount on bonds payable:</u>

Discount on bonds payable = Bonds payable + Equity stock warrants - Cash received

Discount on bonds payable = $30,000,000 + $4,800,000 - $31,200,000

Discount on bonds payable = $3,600,000

<u>Note 1:</u> Since discount on bonds issues is an expense, therefore, it is debited.

<h3><u>Requirement: 1 (b)</u></h3>

<u>Prepare the journal entries on August 1, 2021, to record the investment by Interstate (I).</u>

<u></u>

The following is the journal entry on August 1, 2021 to record the investment by Interstate (I) i.e. investor:

Debit: Investment in stock $960,000 (Working 4)

Debit: Investment in bonds $6,000,000 (Working 5)

Credit: Discount on bonds investment $720,000 (Working 7)

Credit: Cash $6,240,000 (Working 6)

<u>Working 4: </u>

<u>Calculate the investment in stock warrants:</u>

Investment in stock warrant = Equity - stock warrant × 20%

Investment in stock warrant = $4,800,000 × 20%

Investment in stock warrant  = $960,000

Working 5:

Calculate the amount of investment in bonds:

Investment in bonds = Face value × 20%

Investment in bonds = $30,000,000 × 20%

Investment in bonds = $6,000,000

<u>Working 6:</u>

Calculate the amount of cash paid:

Cash paid = Face value × issued rate × 20%

Cash paid = $30,000,000 × 104% × 20%

Cash paid = $6,240,000

<u>Working 7:</u>

<u>Calculate discount on bond investment:</u>

Discount on bond investment = Investment in stock warrants + Investment in bonds - Cash paid

Discount on bond investment = $960,000 + $6,000,000 - $6,240,000

Discount on bond investment = $720,000

<h2><u>Requirement 2:</u></h2><h2><u>Prepare the journal entries for both Limbaugh and Interstate in February 2032, to record the exercise of the warrants.</u></h2>

<h3><u>Requirement 2(a)</u></h3>

<u>Prepare the journal entries for Limbaugh in February 2032, to record the exercise of the warrants.</u>

Solution:

Following is the journal entry for exercise of warrants by <u>Limbaugh</u>:

Debit: Cash: $7,200,000 (Working 8)

Debit: Equity - stock warrants $960,000 (Working 9)

Credit: Common stock - equity $8,160,000

<u>Working 8: </u>

<u>Amount of cash received from the exercise:</u>

Amount of cash received from the exercise = Exercise price per warrant × Number of warrants × Number of bonds × 20%

Amount of cash received from the exercise = $60 × 20 warrants × ($30,000,000/$1,000) × 20%

Amount of cash received from the exercise = $7,200,000

<u>Working 9:</u>

<u>Amount of equity - stock warrants from exercise:</u>

Equity - stock warrants = Total equity stock-warrants × 20%

Equity - stock warrants = $4,800,000 × 20%

Equity - stock warrants = $960,000

<u>Working 10:</u>

<u>Amount of common stock:</u>

Amount of common stock = Cash received + equity - stock warrants

Amount of common stock = $7,200,000 + $960,000

Amount of common stock = $8,160,000

<h3><u>Requirement 2(b)</u></h3>

<u>Prepare the journal entries for Interstate in February 2032, to record the exercise of the warrants.</u>

Solution:

The journal entry is as follows:

Debit: Investment in common stock: $8,160,000 (Working 13)

Credit: Investment in stock warrants: $960,000 (Working 11)

Credit: Cash: $7,200,000 (Working 12)

Working 11:

<u>Amount of equity - stock warrants from exercise:</u>

Equity - stock warrants = Total equity stock-warrants × 20%

Equity - stock warrants = $4,800,000 × 20%

Equity - stock warrants = $960,000

<u>Working 12:</u>

<u>Calculate the amount of cash paid for exercise:</u>

Amount of cash paid for the exercise = Exercise price per warrant × Number of warrants × Number of bonds × 20%

Amount of cash paid for the exercise = $60 × 20 warrants × ($30,000,000/$1,000) × 20%

Amount of cash paid for the exercise = $7,200,000

<u>Working 13:</u>

<u>Investment in common stock:</u>

<u>Amount of common stock:</u>

Investment in common stock = Cash paid + Investment in stock warrants

Investment in common stock = $7,200,000 + $960,000

Investment in common stock = $8,160,000

At an output level of 59,000 units, you calculate that the degree of operating leverage is 3.3. The output rises to 64,000 units
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer: Percentage change OCF = 27.96%.

Explanation:

Given that,

Output level = 59,000 units

Degree of operating leverage = 3.3

Output rises to 64,000 units,

Degree of Leverage = \frac{Percentage\ change\ in\ Operating\ cash\ Flow}{Percentage\ change\ in\ Quantity}

Percentage change OCF = Degree of Leverage × Percentage change in Quantity

= 3.3 \times \frac{64000-59000}{59000} \times 100

= 27.96%
