Answer:

The correct answer is option b.

Explanation:

The fixed costs refer to that part of the cost of production which is not affected by the volume of activity. The total fixed cost remains constant in the entire production process.

The fixed cost per unit is the ratio of total fixed costs and the level of output. It increases with a decrease in level of activity.

The variable cost is the cost incurred on the variable inputs employed in the process of production. As the level of activity declines the number of variable factors employed will also decline. This will cause the total variable cost to decrease.

mezya [45]

Answer:

there are no requirements, but I assume that they ask about issuance costs and their amortization:

market price of the bonds:

PV of face value = $5,000,000 / (1 + 10%)²⁰ = $743,218

PV of coupon payments = $400,000 x 8.5136 (PV annuity factor, 10%, 20 periods) = $3,405,440

market price = $4,148,658

Journal entry to record issuance and bond issue costs

January 1, 2013

Dr Cash 4,088,658

Dr Discount on bonds payable 851,342

Dr Bond issue costs 60,000

Cr Bonds payable 5,000,000

amortization of bond discount and issue costs = ($4,088,658 x 10%) - $400,000 = $8,865.80 ≈ $8,866

allocation to bond issue costs = ($60,000 / $911,342) x $8,866 = $583.71 ≈ $584

allocation to bond discount = $8,866 - $584 = $8,282
