erastova [34]

Answer:

The correct answer is accounting profit is positive.

Explanation:

Economic profits are the difference between the total revenue earned by selling the goods and total costs incurred in the production process. It includes both implicit as well as explicit costs.

The explicit costs are the direct costs incurred in the production process. There is an actual payment involved.

The implicit costs are the indirect costs incurred. They are generally the opportunity cost of sacrificing the alternative option. There is no actual payment involved.

The accounting profits include only explicit costs incurred in the production process. It is the difference between total revenue earned and explicit cost.

A normal profit means zero economic profits. But accountable profits is higher than economic profits, so there will be some positive accountable profit.

Cr Discount on bonds payable 135,896.90

3.$1,535,896.90

4. Yes

5.$37,282,000

Explanation:

1. Preparation of the Journal entry to record the amount of cash proceeds from the issuance of the bonds on July 1, Year 1.

Dr Cash 37,282,062

Dr Discount on bonds payable 2,717,938

(40,000,000-37,282,062)

Cr Bonds payable 40,000,000

2. Preparation of the Journal entries to record the following:

a. Journal entry to record the first semiannual interest payment on December 31, Year 1, and the amortization of the bond discount

First coupon payment December 31, Year 1, f

Dr Interest expense 1,535,896.90

(1,400,000+135,896.90)

Cr Cash 1,400,000

Cr Discount on bonds payable 135,896.90

(2,717,938 / 20 coupons = $135,896.90)

b. Journal entry to record the interest payment on June 30, Year 2, and the amortization of the bond discount

June 30, Year 2, second coupon payment

Dr Interest expense 1,535,896.90

Cr Cash 1,400,000

Cr Discount on bonds payable 135,896.90

(2,717,938 / 20 coupons = $135,896.90)

3. Calculation to Determine the total interest expense for Year 1.

Cash 1,400,000 + Discount on bonds payable 135,896.90 = $1,535,896.90

4. Yes the bond proceeds will always be less than the face amount of the bonds in a situation where the contract rate is less than the market rate of interest because if we have a high market rate than the coupon, this would mean that the bonds will sell at a discount

5. Computation for the price of $37,282,062 received for the bonds using the present value tables

PV factor, 4%, 20 periods =0.4564

PV annuity factor, 4%, 20 periods =13.590

Present Value (Face value) = $40,000,000 x 0.4564 = $18,256,000

PV of coupon payments = $1,400,000 x 13.590 = $19,026,000

Therefore the bond's market price will be:

Present Value (Face value) +PV of coupon payments

Bond's market price = $18,256,000 + $19,026,000

Bond's market price = $37,282,000
