Answer:

b. rising interest rates.

Explanation:

A bond can be defined as a debt or fixed investment security, in which a bondholder (creditor or investor) loans an amount of money to the bond issuer (government or corporations) for a specific period of time.

Generally, the bond issuer is expected to return the principal at maturity with an agreed upon interest to the bondholder, which is payable at fixed intervals.

The par value of a bond is its face value and it comprises of its total dollar amount as well as its maturity value. Also, the par value of a bond gives the basis on which periodic interest is paid. Thus, a bond is issued at par value when the market rate of interest is the same as the contract rate of interest. This simply means that, a bond would be issued at par (face) value when the bond's stated rated is significantly equal to the effective or market interest rate on the specific date it was issued.

In Economics, bonds could either be issued at discount or premium.

Generally, if a business firm has invested in corporate bonds, it may engage in a financial futures contract in order to protect itself from rising interest rates.

Answer:

Current liability refers to the short term obligations of the firm which need to be settled down within a period of one year or within a normal operating cycle.

(a) $0 would be reported as current liability, as it is not a current liability. It is a contingent liability.

(b) The amount of current liability is $192,900 because it is a liability of a firm to pay bonuses to the employees.

(c) The amount of current liability is as follows:

= $900,000 × 0.08 × (1/12)

= $6,000

Payment of interest on loan is a liability of the firm.

(d) $0 would be indicated in current liability, because provision for doubtful accounts is subtracted from the total accounts receivable to determine the net account receivables.

(e) Proposed dividend is a part of current liability and the amount of dividend to be shown as current liability is as follows:

= Dividend per share × No. of shares outstanding

= $3.50 per share × 41,810

= $146,335

(f) Customer advances is a current liability and the amount of customer advances to be reported in current liability is calculated as follows:

= Customer advances - Amount earned this year

= $193,100 - $57,900

= $135,200
