Problem Six: Fair Value Accounting
ABC Co. starts its business raising $110,000 in cash; $60,000 from issuing equity and $50,000 from issuing 6% bonds at par. ABC used the whole amount of cash to buy a building, which it rents out for $10,000 per year. Given below is the opening balance sheet of ABC Co. for the first year of operations.
At the end of Year 1, the building is valued at $150,000. Also, the market value of bonds has fallen to $49,000. Assume the useful life of the building is 30 years and its salvage value is $50,000 at the end of that period. The rental income is received on the last day of the year. Interest on bonds is also paid on this day.
