Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

a/ 20 days per year on average

b/ The use of road salt to is an effective deicer method. However, it will eventually causes some harmful impact on the environment including but not limited to increasing in water/soild salinity, contamination of public drinking waters, destroy the soild structure and slowly killing of trees and plants. Luckily, there are some other options which are more environment-friendly such as Cheese brine, Sand, Urea, Beet molasses

Explanation:

a/ To evaluate the investment of the new snowplow, denote X is the average amount of saving per a year as the new snowplow is used.

    Consider the average amount of saving as an annuity for the next 12 years, with the discount rate of 14%. The present value (PV) = 45,000 - 2,500/1.14^(-12) =$44,481.1

   Thus, to obtain the rate of return of 14%, PV of the annuity should be equals to $44,481.1 meaning: 44,481.1= (X/14%) x [ 1 - 1.14^(-12)] <=> X = $7858.44

   As one day use would save Ithaca $400, to achieve the targeted saving of $7858.44, the city has to use the snowplow at least 20 days per year ( 7858.44/400)

July 1, investment in UNF bonds

Dr Investment in bonds HTM 350,000,000

    Cr Cash 320,000,000

    Cr Discount on bonds 30,000,000

December 31, interest revenue from investment in bonds

Dr Cash 12,250,000

Dr Discount on bonds 550,000

    Cr Interest revenue 12,800,000

Discount on bonds = ($320,000,000 x 4%) - ($350,000,000 x 3.5%) = $12,800,000 - $12,250,000 = $550,000

3. At what amount will Tanner-UNF report its investment in the December 31, 2018, balance sheet?

Investment in bonds HTM = $350,000,000 (face value) - $29,450,000 (discount on bonds) = $320,550,000

Changes in the market value of bonds held to maturity are not considered by the company.

4. Suppose Moody's bond rating agency downgraded the risk rating of the bonds motivating Tanner-UNF to sell the investment on January 2, 2019, for $310.0 million. Prepare the journal entry to record the sale.
