First of all, let's understand that horizontal integration means companies acquire others which operate in the same line of business, for various reasons. This process can have different impacts on the struggling or surviving firms. Depending on the size and importance of the surviving firms, horizontal integration can be a lifeboat or nightmare. Small firms, when embodied to by big corporations can regain balance and competitiveness, enjoying all the support of the parent company, especially if they operate in a different aspect of the overall business and following the agreement between the parent company and the now subsidiary company(ies). Reversely, surviving firms may basically terminated in the process of merging with a bigger concern.This is the case of former small French car manufacturers which were bought by giants Peugeot and Renault. We no longer hear of the petty car makers.

Annapolis Company purchased a $1,000, 6%, 5-year bond at 97 and held it to maturity. The straight line method of amortization is
Roman55 [17]

Answer: $330

Explanation:

The Net cash received is the Total Money received minus the Total money paid.

The total money paid is calculated as such,

= $1,000 x 97%( this a DISCOUNT bond meaning that it was sold for less than Par. This number signifies how much in percentage of Par it was purchased for)

= $970

$970 is the Total Amount paid.

The Total Amount Received would be,

= Principle on Maturity + Interest for 5 years

= 1,000 + 1,000(0.06) * 5 years

= $1,300

Net Cash Received is therefore,

= Total Amount Received - Total Amount Paid

= 1,300 - 970

= $330

$330 is the net cash received over the life of the bond investment.
