Income from operation $868,000

3. The reason for difference of amount for income from operation is $32,000 ($900,000 - $868,000). It is due to fixed manufacturing cost which is included for ending inventory under absorption costing (320,000 / 80,000 * 8,000). Hence, income under absorption costing is higher by $32,000 as compared to income under variable costing.

A company issued 5-year, 7% bonds with a par value of $500,000. The market rate when the bonds were issued was 6.5%. The company

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The correct answer is $17,000.

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the given data are as follows:

Bonds percent = 7%

Par value of bonds = $500,000

Market rate = 6.5%

Cash received = $505,000

So, we can calculate the amount of recorded interest for semiannual interest period by using following formula:

First we calculate the premium on bonds,

So, Premium on bonds = Cash received - Par value of bonds

= $505,000 - $500,000

= $5,000

So, straight line amortization = Premium on bonds ÷ years

= $5,000 ÷ 5

= $1,000

So, Amount of interest expense for first semiannual is as follows:

Amount of interest = ( Par value of bonds × Bonds percent ) ÷ 2 - (straight line amortization ÷ 2)

= ( $500,000 × 7% ) ÷ 2 - ( $1,000 ÷ 2 )

= $17,500 - $500

= $17,000.
