Answer:
The amount to be received onthe coupon date is $154000.
The amount to be received at bonds maturity is $4154000.
Explanation:
amount received on the next coupon date = 4000*$1000*7.7%*6/12
= $154000
amount to receive when the bonds mature = face value + interest
= 4000*$1000 + $154000
= $4,000,000 + $154000
= $4154000
Therefore, the amount to be received onthe coupon date is $154000 and the amount to be received at bonds maturity is $4154000.
Answer:
The effect of this error on 2003 ending working capital is that it overstated the ending 2003 working capital.
The error does not have effect on the 2004 ending retained earnings balance.
Explanation:
Let the amount of the commission expense be xxxx.
At the end of 2003, the journal entries should have been as follows:
Debit Commission expense for xxxx
Credie Commission payable for xxxx
Also, we have:
Working capital = Current assets – Current liabilities ………… (1)
From equation (1), current liabilities are understated because commission payable which was not recorded is an item under current liabilities. Since the current liabilities are understated, that indicates that the working capital in equation is overstated. Therefore, the effect of this error on 2003 ending working capital is that it overstated the ending 2003 working capital.
When the 2003 commission expense in the entries above was paid in 2004, it would have been recognized as an expense. This made the error to counterbalance. This implies that the 2004 ending retained earnings balance is still correct despite that there are errors in the earnings of the two years. Therefore, the error does not have effect on the 2004 ending retained earnings balance.

As the return on asset is calcualte using the asset figure it will not change with a financial leverage measurement.
