Answer:

No Journal entry. Disclose contingent liability of  $794000 in Notes to Financial Statements

Explanation:

A Provision is recognized when it is Probable ( Probabity > 50%) that there would be an outflow of economic resources and that a reliable estimate can be made - IAS 37

Since there  is a 45% chance of losing, it is not probable to recognize a provision. Thus a Contingent liability is recognized instead

Contingent Liabilities are only disclosed if the amounts are significant and are not shown on the face of the financial statement (no journal entry)

KonstantinChe [14]
One of the steps in solving this problem is this one:

As we know as shown above, the joournal entry for 2014 and 2015 will include the investment balance, increases and decreases to equity and intra-entity profits realized and deferred. Also the balance of the acquisition needs to be calculated.

Calculation of the book value of the purchase made as the book value of Company K times percent purchased:

400,000 * 0.40 = 160,000

Then, calculate the difference in the acquisition and the book value of the purchase:

210,000 - 160,000 = 50,000

The 10% bonds payable of Crane Company had a carrying amount of $4060000 on December 31, 2020. The bonds, which had a face value
faust18 [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is "43,000".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Carrying amount,

= $4060000

Face value,

= $3900000

Now,

For June 30, 2021, the Interest expense will be:

= 4060000\times 10 \ percent\times \frac{1}{2}

= 203,000

For June 30, 2021, the cash interest will be:

= 3900000\times 8 \ percent\times \frac{1}{2}

= 156,000

Now,

On June 30, 2021, the premium's amortization will be:

= Interest expense - Cash interest

= 203,000-156,000

= 47,000

On retirement, the cash paid will be:

= 3900000\times 104 \ percent

= 4,056,000

On June 30, 2021, the less carrying amount will be:

= Carrying amount - amortization

= 4060000-47000

= 4,013,000

Then,

The loss on retirement as well as ignoring taxes will be:

= Cash paid - less carrying amount

= 4,056,000-4,013,000

= 43,000
