Answer:

b) The company will incur a loss

Explanation:

The market rate at the time of issue = 9%, while coupon rate = 8%, it says bonds provide lesser return when compared to the market rate.  

At end of year 2 market rate drops to 6% which is lower than the Bond's coupon rate. Which means the bond's providing high return when compared to the market. So, company to retire the bonds need to pay more than the par value.

As company should retire these bonds more than par value, the company incur a loss.

Option 'B is correct

The company incur a loss

ASHA 777 [7]

Answer and Explanation:

The journal entry are as follows

1. Interest expense $214,650

       To Cash $214,650

= $4,770,000 × 9%  × 6 months ÷ 12 months

= $214,650

For recording this we debited the interest expense as it increased the expenses while on the other hand the cash is paid which reduced the cash balance so it is credited

2. Cash $530,000

      To Bond payable $530,000

(Being the cash sale of bond is recorded)

For recording this we debited the cash as cash is received that increased the cash balance and at the same time we credited the bond payable

enot [183]

Answer:

The answer is: 30 to 40%, according to satellite imagery

Satellite imagery is the most reliable way to try to determine what percentage of the Earth's land is used for agriculture. First and most important, the world is huge and only satellites have the technology to take images of continents and differentiate what possible use is given to them.

Government's surveys and records are no very reliable since you would need to use information from all the governments in the world including democratic countries and nations with dictatorships.

Using the word “CAPITALISM,” create an acrostic poem that demonstrates your understanding of the term. Feel free to come back an
pogonyaev

Answer:

Capitalism is an economic system based on investing money in the expectation of making a profit. The means of production are usually privately owned by private entrepreneurs who often use wage labor to create added value. In doing so, they enjoy a great deal of legal freedom to dispose of these means, free enterprise production. This freedom also means that there is competition, which means that entrepreneurs have an interest in increasing the efficiency of their company. Hence, the capital owner will not fully consume the profit but reinvest in the business and capital accumulation takes place. The distribution of products is regulated by the market, in which the role of the government is, in principle, limited to that of market master.
