Answer:

Mabry Corporation

Using the effective interest method, the bond discount should be reduced for the 6 months ended December 31, 2018 by:

= d. $90,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Face value of bonds issued = $15 million

Issue price of the bonds = 13.8 million

Bonds discounts = $1.2 million

Coupon rate of interest = 8%

Effective interest rate = 10%

Interest payment = semi-annually on December 31 and July 1

December 31, 2018:

Interest payment = $600,000 ($15 million * 4%)

Interest expense = $690,000 ($13.8 million * 5%)

Amortization of discounts = $90,000 ($690,000 - $600,000)

Fair value of bonds = $13.89million ($13.8m + $90,000)

Answer: The investment is written down to fair value, and only the credit loss component of the impairment loss is recognized in net income.

Explanation: The fair value of the debt is simply its value if you adjust the price of the debt so that a buyer would be earning the market rate of interest. If the fair value of a debt investment that is classified as an available-for-sale investment declines for a reason that is viewed as "other than temporary" because the company has incurred a credit loss on the investment then the investment is written down to fair value, and only the credit loss component of the impairment loss is recognized in net income.

Answer:

Holding period return = 14.49%, Standard Deviation = 11.08 approx

Explanation:

Eco Scenario Dividend Stock Price HPR Prob Expected HPR

Boom 3 60 26 0.33 8.58

Normal 1.2 58 18.4 0.33 6.072

Recession 0.75 49 (0.5) 0.33 <u> (0.165)</u>

Expected HPR 14.49%

<u>Calculation Of Standard Deviation</u>

(A) (B) (A) - (B)

$P_{1}$ $P_{0}$ $D_{1}$ Given return Exp return d p $p.d^{2}$

60 50 3 26 14.49 11.51 0.33 43.718

58 50 1.2 18.4 14.49 3.91 0.33 5.045

49 50 0.75 (0.5) 14.49 14.99 0.33 <u> 74.15</u>

Total $p.d^{2}$ = 122.91

wherein, d = deviation

p = probability

Standard Deviation = $\sqrt{Total\ p.d^{2} }$ = $\sqrt{122.91}$ = 11.08

<u></u>

<u>Working Note</u>:

Holding period return = $\frac{P_{1}\ -\ P_{0} \ +\ D_{1} }{P_{0} }$

Boom = $\frac{60\ -\ 50 \ +\ 3 }{50 }$ = 26%

Similarly, for normal = $\frac{58\ -\ 50 \ +\ 1.2 }{50 }$ = 18.4%

Recession = $\frac{49\ -\ 50 \ +\ 0.75 }{50}$ = (0.5)%
