Question

On January 1, 2014, Fishbone Corporation sold a building that cost $260,300 and that had accumulated depreciation of $105,700 on the date of sale. Fishbone received as consideration a $249,400 non-interest-bearing note due on January 1, 2017. There was no established exchange price for the building, and the note had no ready market. The prevailing rate of interest for a note of this type on January 1, 2014, was 9%. At what amount should the gain from the sale of the building be reported? (Round factor values to 5 decimal places, e.g. 1.25124 and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 458,581.)

On January 1, 2014, Fishbone Corporation purchased 330 of the $1,000 face value, 9%, 10-year bonds of Walters Inc. The bonds mature on January 1, 2024, and pay interest annually beginning January 1, 2015. Fishbone purchased the bonds to yield 11%. How much did Fishbone pay for the bonds?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. The amount of gain should be reported: $37,983

2. The answer is $291,131

Explanation:

1.

The actual consideration's receipt is the present value of the cash flow from the note which is calculated as 249,400 / ( 1+9%)^3 = $192,582.5599

The Net book value of asset = Original cost - accumulated depreciation = 260,300 - 105,700 = $154,600

=> Gain on sales = $192,582.5599 - $154,600 = $37,983

2.

To determine the amount needs to paid out for the purchase, determine the price per stock first.

The stock price will be determined as the present value of cash flows from bonds, discounted at yield to maturity.

We have: Annual coupon payment = 1,000 x 9% = $90

=> Stock price = (90/11%) x ( 1 - 1.11^-10) + 1,000/1.11^10 = 882.21536

=> Amount need to be paid for the purchase = stock price x bond purchased = 882.21536 x 330 = $291,131
