Answer:
Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
On September 30
Bonds payable A/c Dr $1,000,000
Loss on bond retirement A/c Dr $20,000
To Discount on Bond A/c $10,000
To Cash A/c $1,010,000
(Being the callable bond is recorded)
The computation is shown below:
For cash
= Par value of bond + Premium
= $1,000,000 + $10,000
= $1,010,000
For Loss, it would be
= $1,010,000 - $990,000
= $20,000
And, the remaining amount would be transferred to discount on bond
Answer:
11.63 million dollar
Explanation:
In 2005 the construction cost index was 1746 , in 2015 , it was 3260.
change in index in 10 years = 3260-1746 = 1514
change in 5 years ( estimated ) = 757
Estimated index in 2010 = 1746 + 757
= 2503
Estimated index in 2020 = 3260 + 757
= 4017
Value of building in 2010 = 1746 million dollar
Value of similar building - X
X / 1746 = index in 2020 (probable ) / index in 2010
X / 7.25 = 4017 / 2503
X = 11.63 million dollar
Answer:
a. $700,000
b. 6/7 or 85.7%
c. No they will not.
Explanation:
a. Jacobs will earn the normal salary that the other designers in the other companies are getting in addition to the incremental income he brings to the company as a result of his talents.
Incremental income = Revenue with Jacobs - Revenue without Jacobs
= 1,000,000 - 400,000
= $600,000
Jacobs earnings = Normal designer earnings + incremental income
= 100,000 + 600,000
= $700,000
b. Economic rent is the excess amount that the company is paying Jacobs over what it should normally cost to get a designer.
Normal cost of designer is $100,000. Company is therefore paying an economic rent of $600,000.
Proportion of Jacobs salary that is economic rent = 
= 
= 6/7 or 85.7%
c. The company hiring Jacobs will not be making an economic profit because for them to make an economic profit they would have to be making more than the $400,000 that the other firms make. They cannot make this amount because for them to do so they would have to reduce the amount they pay Jacobs. If they do so, Jacobs would leave for greener pastures and then they would be making the same $400,000 that the rest are making.
