Answer:

Under the effective interest method, as a bond approaches maturity, the interest expense decreases while the amortization of the bond premium increases.

Explanation:

E.g. a company issues $800,000 in 8% bonds when the market rate is 7%, so the bonds price is $856,850 (semiannual coupons are paid).

Journal entry to record the issuance

Dr Cash 856,850

    Cr Bonds payable 800,000

   Cr Premium on bonds payable 56,850

amortization of bond premium on first coupon payment:

($856,850 x 3.5%) - ($800,000 x 4%) = $29,989.75 - $32,000 = -$2,010.25 ≈ -$2,010

Journal entry to record first coupon payment:

Dr Interest expense 29,990

Dr Premium on bonds payable 2,010

    Cr Cash 32,000

amortization of bond premium on second coupon payment:

($854,840 x 3.5%) - ($800,000 x 4%) = $29,919.40 - $32,000 = -$2,080.60 ≈ -$2,081

Journal entry to record second coupon payment:

Dr Interest expense 29,919

Dr Premium on bonds payable 2,081

    Cr Cash 32,000

Can we treat all small businesses the same? Why or Why not?
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

Depends on what you define as small business, if you mean a mom and pop pharmaceutical store across the road that keeps the money within the family and has every member of the family working in the shop to create an infinite amount of revenue for themselves until they hit a profit, then sure. They contribute tax dollars to the community through supplying jobs and creating cheaper cost for locals, which gives incentive to buy more in bulk and thus creating more tax dollars. Unless you are talking about the man in the apartment building who makes home grade meals and sells them cheap to his community, then no. While he is contributing tax dollars all those dollars aren't going back into the community until he buys something with that money, and the people who spent that money just got  a tax free meal that 't go into the community didn't.

11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:

The ending owner’s capital for the company is $40,000

Explanation:

For computing the ending owner capital, the following equation should be used which is shown below:

Ending owner capital = Beginning owner capital - net loss - dividend paid to shareholders

= $100,000 -- $50,000 - $10,000

= $40,000

The net loss and dividend decrease the owner equity which ultimately decreases the capital. So, we deduct these amounts.

Hence, the ending owner’s capital for the company is $40,000
