emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

c. $326,948

Explanation:

we must determine the market price of the bonds:

market price = PV of face value + PV of coupons

  • PV of face value = $300,000 / (1 + 2%)¹⁰ = $246,104.49
  • PV of coupons = $9,000 (coupons) x 8.9826 (PV annuity factor 2%, 10 periods) =   $80,843.40

total market price = $326,947.89 ≈ $326,948

since the market rate is lower than the coupon rate, the bonds should be sold at a premium.

Ksju [112]
The correct answer is option b, debit to cash short and over for $13. The petty cash fund is a debit account, meaning it increases with entries posted on the debit side and decreases with entries posted to the credit side. Replenishing the fund here means injecting cash to reach the initial $150. To obtain the replenishing amount, you just subtract the debit entries in the fund $54 and $83 from the $150, i.e. $150 - ($54 + $83) = $13.
