Answer: Cultural factors

Explanation: Socio - cultural factors can affect the operations of companies that operate across various countries. Countries have different cultures and ways of doing things, so when a new company enters this country it needs to adapt to the culture of that country in order to become successful. The European Union (EU) consists of many different cultures. Because Johnston Chemicals is branching into the EU, the wide variety of socio - cultural, economic, technological, legal and political factors in each country will determine how the company will operate, and also how it can become one market over time.

mylen [45]

Answer:

a. Prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds on January 1, 2018

we must first determine the market price of the bonds:

PV of face value = $2,000,000 / (1 + 5%)²⁰ = $753,778.97 ≈ $753,779

PV of coupon payments = $110,000 x 12.462 (PV annuity factor, 5%, 20 periods) = $1,370,820

market value of the bonds = $753,779 + $1,370,820 = $2,124,599

January 1, 2018, bonds are issued at a premium

Dr Cash 2,124,599

Cr Bonds payable 2,000,000

Cr Premium on bonds payable 124,599

b. Prepare a bond amortization schedule up to and including January 1, 2022

since we are not told which amortization method to use, I will use the straight line method.

7/2019 $103,770 $110,000 $6,230 $2,105,909

1/2020 $103,770 $110,000 $6,230 $2,099,679

7/2020 $103,770 $110,000 $6,230 $2,093,449

1/2021 $103,770 $110,000 $6,230 $2,087,219

c. Prepare the journal entries to record the interest payments on January 1, 2020 and January 1, 2021.
