Joshua statement is correct.
Explanation:
Marginal cost:
Is the cost of producing a new unit.
Average Cost:


If the marginal cost of this plant is lower than their other plants, it can decrease his average cost by increasing the amount produced.
This increase in production decrease the impact of the fixed cost in the unit price. At more production the average cost will decrease. Because the variable cost keeps at the same value but the fixed cost per unit decrease.
Answer:
cash 96,535 debit
discount on BP 3,465 debit
Bonds Payable 100,000 credit
Explanation:
We need to determinate the price at which the bonds were issued:
Which is the present value of the coupon payment and maturity
Coupon payment: 100,000 x 10% / 2 = 5,000
time 4 (2 years x 2 payment per year)
rate 0.06 (12% annual / 2 = 6% semiannual)
PV $17,325.5281
Maturity (face value) $100,000.00
time 4.00
rate 0.06
PV 79,209.37
PV c $17,325.5281
PV m $79,209.3663
Total $96,534.8944
As the bonds are issued below face value there is a discount:
100,000 - 96,535 = 3,465
the entry will recognize the cash procceds and the creation of a liaiblity
we will also use an auxiliar account for the discount on the bonds
