Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

-3.91%.

Explanation:

The Duration Adjustment (% change in bond price) is given by:

= (Duration) * (Change in yield in %)

= -(7.81) x (0.5%)

= -3.91%

The Convexity Adjustment is given by:

= 0.5 * Convexity * (Change in yield, as a fraction)^2

= 0.5 * 99.87 * (0.005)^2

= 0.5 * 99.87 * 0.000025

= 0.001248375

= 0.0012%

Thus, the convexity correction is 0.0012%

Thus, the total change in bond price = -3.91% + 0.0012% = -3.91%.

Corporation`s net assets)

Recording of merger costs.

(Debit) Cash $9,000

(Credit) Merger Expenses $9,000

Recording of acquisition of Lark Corporation`s net assets

(Debit) Investment in Lark`s net asset $712,000

(Credit) Cash $632,000

(Credit) Gain on Purchase Bargain $80,000

Explanation:

When acquiring another business, net asset (Total Assets - Total Liabilities) is valued at fair value (sometimes called market value, not book value. Hence, the reason why the fair value of Lark`s assets and liabilities was used in the calculation above. So the net assets ($57,000+$165,000+$307,000+$203,000 - $20,000) = $712,000.

After, calculating the net assets of the Lark, the purchase consideration given by Bower Company has to be removed from the net asset, in order to get the goodwill or gain on purchase bargain on the acquisition. The formula is Purchase consideration - Net assets of the target company = Goodwill (Gain on purchase bargain). If the purchase consideration is higher than the net assets, then goodwill is obtained. If the purchase consideration is lower than net assets acquired then, gain on purchase bargain is obtained.

In Bower`s case, gain on purchase bargain is obtained because net assets is greater than purchase consideration ($632,000 - $712,000).

Merger cost

Merger cost is not considered as part of purchase consideration. The merger cost is taken to income statement of Bower Corporation as expense.
