Explanation:

It all depends on the market conventions and the bond documentation.

1 In most countries, traditionally fixed coupon bonds don’t have their coupons day counted. So if the frequency is twice a year, and the annual coupon rate is 5.5%, then each semi-annual coupon is exactly 5.5/2=2.75%. However a lot of other instruments, e.g. fixed swap legs, loans, and bonds that are really “loan participation notes”, etc. usually have their fixed coupons day counted. So each coupon amount will vary a little depending on the number of days in the accrual period, weekends and holidays.

Infinity Corporation purchased equipment with a 10-year useful life and zero residual value for $10,000. At the end of the fifth

sesenic [268]

Answer:

a capital gain of $1,000.

Explanation:

Given,

The cost price of Equipment = $10,000

Useful life of the equipment = 10 years

Residual value = $0

Depreciation (Straight-line method) = Cost price/useful life

Depreciation (Straight-line method) = $10,000/10 = $1,000

Since, it is a straight line method, the depreciation will remain same each year. Therefore, at the end of the fifth year, the depreciation of equipment = $1,000 x 5 = $5,000

At the end of the fifth year,

The book value of the equipment= Equipment - Accumulate depreciation= $(10,000 - 5,000) = $5,000

If the company sales the equipment after the end of the fifth year,

there will be a capital gain.

Capital Gain of equipment = Sales price of equipment - book value of equipment

Capital Gain of equipment = $6,000 - 5,000 = $1,000. The journal entry will be -

Cash/Bank Debit $6,000

Accumulated Depreciation Debit $5,000

Gain on sale of equipment Credit $1,000

Equipment Credit $10,000
