Answer:

HPR = 0.371%

Explanation:

we must first determine the price of the bond in 1 year:

present value of face value = $1,000 / (1 + 6.25%)⁶ = $695.07

present value of coupon payments = $52.50 x 4.87894 (PV annuity factor, 6.25%, 6 periods) = $256.14

market price in 1 year = $951.21

since you bought the bond at face value (market value = YTM), the the holding period return is:

HPR = [(ending price - actual price) + dividends received] / actual price

HPR = [($951.21 - $1,000) + $52.50] / $1,000 = $3.71 / $1,000 = 0.371%

Jole Co. lent $10,000 to a major supplier in exchange for a non interest bearing note due in three years and a contract to purch
bearhunter [10]

Answer: a. . Both discount on note receivable and deferred charge.

Explanation:

To correctly account for this transaction both the discount and the deferred charge should be recorded.

The note is a non-interest bearing note which means that profit will only be made on it if it was bought on a discount with the full amount due for refund at maturity. To correctly account for this then the discount rate must be recorded to ensure that the discount is recognized.

Jole Co. also made a commitment to purchase a fixed amount of goods at 10% which means that there is now a purchase commitment which has to be recognized in the books so they must record that deferred charge as well.

On January 1, 2020, Pearl Company makes the two following acquisitions.
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

a) journal entry to record land purchase

January 1, 2020

Dr Land 360,000

Dr Discount on notes payable 246,621

    Cr Notes payable 606,621

journal entry to record purchase of equipment

January 1, 2020

Dr Equipment 444,725.96

Dr Discount on notes payable 115,274.04

    Cr Notes payable 560,000

present value of $560,000 using bank interest rate = $560,000 / 1.11⁸ = $242,998.84

annual interest payment = $560,000 x 7% = $39,200

PV of annuity = $39,200 x 5.1461 (PV annuity factor, 11%, 8 periods) = $201,727.12

total present value of notes payable = $242,998.84 + $201,727.12 = $444,725.96

discount on notes payable = $560,000 - $444,725.96 = $115,274.04

b) interest expense for the first notes payable (used to purchase land) = $360,000 x 11% = $39,600

December 31, 2021, accrued interest expense on notes payable 1

Dr Interest expense 39,600

    Cr Discount on notes payable 39,600

interest expense for the second note

interest expense = $444,725.96 x 11% = $48,919.86

cash paid = $560,000 x 7% = $39,200

discount on notes payable = $48,919.86 - $39,200 = $9,719.86

December 31, 2021, accrued interest expense on notes payable 2

Dr Interest expense 48,919.86

    Cr Cash (or interest payable) 39,200

    Cr Discount on notes payable 9,719.86

A firm which prepares its financial statements according to U.S. GAAP and uses a periodic inventory system had the following tra
saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

B. $4,342 using weighted average.

Explanation:

Note: The data in this question are merged together. They are therefore sorted before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question with the sorted data.

The explanation to the answer is now given as follows:

Also note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of cost of sales using FIFO, LIFO and Weighted Average methods (in red color).

First In First Out (FIFO) refers to the inventory method whereby the inventory items purchased first are sold first.

Last In First Out (LIFO) refers to the inventory method whereby the inventory items purchased last are sold first.

Weighted average cost method refers an inventory costing technique whereby the average cost per unit is calculated by dividing the total cost of the goods available for sale by the total number of units available for sales.

From the question, we can obtained:

Total Tons (000s) Sold = May Sales + November Sales = 5 + 3 = 8

From the attached excel file, we have:

Weighted average unit cost = Total Cost ($'000s) / Total Tons (000s)  Available for Sales =  5,970 / 11 =  $542.73

Cost of sales under weighted average = Total Tons (000s) Sold *  Weighted average unit cost =  8 * $542.73 = $4,342

Therefore, from the attached excel file and the calculations above, the correct option is B. $4,342 using weighted average.
