The journal entries to record the transactions for Sharp Company are as follows:

a) January 1, 2020:

Debit Bonds Receivable $50,000

Debit Bonds Premium $2,165

Credit Cash $52,165

  • To record the purchase of the debt investment.

b) December 31, 2020:

Debit Cash $3,000

Credit Interest Revenue $2,608

Credit Bonds Premium Amortization $392

  • To record the receipt of interest.

c) December 31, 2020:

Debit Fair Value Loss $1,000

Credit Bonds Receivable $1,000

  • To adjust the investment to fair value.

<h3>What is a bond's premium?</h3>

The bonds premium, in this case, refers to the excess cash that Sharp Company paid for the purchase of the bonds when the effective market rate is 5% with a coupon rate of 6%.

The implication is that Sharp Company paid more for the bonds than the market value.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Purchase of Sox Bonds = $50,000

PV = $52,165

Premium on bonds = $2,165

Interest rate = 6%

Market rate = 5%

Maturity period = 5 years

Interest payment = annually on December 31

<h3>Transaction Analysis:</h3>

a) January 1, 2020: Bonds Receivable $50,000  Bonds Premium $2,165 Cash $52,165

b) December 31, 2020: Cash $3,000 Interest Revenue $2,608 Bonds Premium Amortization $392

c) December 31, 2020: Fair Value Adjustment $1,000 Bonds Receivable $1,000

Which of the following is NOT one of the main motivations and characteristics of an entrepreneur?
mojhsa [17]

Process of elimination:

Flexibility is a characteristic because entrepreneurs are designing their own path (path being vague for whatever their entrepreneurship is focused on), allowing for flexibility

Risk is a characteristic because being on your own and doing your own thing is much more unstable than simply working for a well-founded company

Innovation is a characteristic, because the flexibility that comes from being an entrepreneur allows for freedom of ones own ideas, making innovation more likely.

Profit is not a particular characteristic, due to the risk factor.

Profit is the right answer :D
