Bloom Corporation purchased $1,000,000 of Taylor Company 5% bonds at par with the intent and ability to hold the bonds until the

y matured in 2025, so Bloom classifies their investment as HTM. Unfortunately, a combination of problems at Taylor Company and in the debt market caused the fair value of the Taylor investment to decline to $600,000 during 2018.
Required:

For each of the following scenarios, prepare appropriate entry(s) at December 31, 2018, and indicate how the scenario will affect the 2018 income statement (ignoring income taxes).

1. Bloom now believes it is more likely than not that it will have to sell the Taylor bonds before the bonds have a chance to recover their fair value. Of the $400,000 decline in fair value, Bloom attributes $250,000 to credit losses, and $150,000 to noncredit losses.

2. Bloom does not plan to sell the Taylor bonds prior to maturity, and does not believe it is more likely than not that it will have to sell the Taylor bonds before the bonds have a chance to recover their fair value. Of the $400,000 decline in fair value, Bloom attributes $250,000 to credit losses, and $150,000 to noncredit losses.

Answer:

1)

Since Bloom plans to sell the bonds, it must record the entire loss as credit loss (loss on sale of bonds)

Dr Other than temporary impairment loss 400,000

    Cr Discount on bond investment - Taylor bonds 400,000

Credits losses must be recognized as a loss in earnings in the income statement.

2)

Journal entry to record credit loss:

Dr Other than temporary impairment loss 250,000

    Cr Discount on bond investment - Taylor bonds 250,000

Journal entry to record non-credit loss:

Dr Other than temporary impairment loss 150,000

    Cr Fair value adjustment - Taylor bonds 150,000

Non-credit losses must be recognized as part of other comprehensive income/loss and must be disclosed separately than credit losses. They must be reported in the balance sheet (they lower retained earnings directly), not the income statement.

When government expenditures increase, the interest rate
Julli [10]

Answer:

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

When there is an increase in the government expenditures, the income in the economy will increase. As a result, the demand will increase. The increase in demand will increase the price level.

The suppliers will produce more. To increase output more capital investment will be required. This will further cause an increase in the demand of loan-able funds. So, the interest rate will increase as well.

With the increase in interest rates, the cost of borrowing will increase. This will lead to lesser capital investment and as a result the aggregate demand will be smaller, because of lower production and thus lower income.

Suppose that the demand for my new book, Spatulas From Around the World, is such that the demand curve lies everywhere below the
dsp73

Answer:

C. Shut down the presses printing my book

Explanation:

Since the average variable cost of producing the book is above the demand curve, the best course of action is to shut down the printing (production) of more books. The author would lose less money by shutting down operations rather than continuing production at a variable cost higher than the demand he's receiving for the books.

In economics, when profit is less than the average variable cost, firms are advised to stop production in the short run and incur economic loss on fixed inputs. This is because with continued operations, total revenue would not only be lower than total cost, but rather, would also be less than total variable cost.

_____ is the marketing of goods and services to individuals and organizations for purposes other than personal consumption.
azamat

Answer:

C) Business marketing

Explanation:

There are two major types of business transactions: business to business (B2B) and business to consumers (B2C).

When a company engages in B2B transactions, they are selling their products or services to another business or individual that will resell them to individual consumers. For example, Nike sells shoes to Foot Locker, and then Foot Locker resells them to final consumers.

Businesses engaged in B2B transactions use specific marketing strategies aimed at their wholesale clients which usually vary from marketing strategies aimed at final consumers, e.g. offer discounts for buying in bulk.
