Question 1

Using the present value tables, compute the present value of an ordinary annuity which pays $3,000 per year for 15 years, discounted at 9%.

Accepted Answer

Using the present value of an ordinary annuity table for n=15 and i=9%, we find the factor to be 8.5594. Multiplying this factor by the annual payment of $3,000 gives a present value of $25,678.20. However, this is the present value of the annuity due, so we must subtract one year's payment of $3,000 to get the present value of the ordinary annuity. This gives a final answer of $24,183.

Question 2

If $12,000 is invested for one year at an annual interest rate of 12%, it will grow in value to:

Accepted Answer

To find the growth in value, we can use the formula for simple interest:

Growth = Principal x Rate x Time

where Principal is the initial amount invested, Rate is the annual interest rate as a decimal, and Time is the duration of the investment in years.

In this case, we have:

Principal = $12,000
Rate = 0.12 (12% expressed as a decimal)
Time = 1 year

So the growth in value is:

Growth = $12,000 x 0.12 x 1 = $1,440

To find the final value of the investment, we need to add this growth to the original principal:

Final Value = Principal + Growth = $12,000 + $1,440 = $13,440

Therefore, the best choice is A) $13,440.

Question 3

The principal amount of a bond is $65,000, its stated rate is 7%, and the term of the bond is 5 years. The bond pays interest semiannually. At the time of issue, the market rate is 8%. Determine the present value of the bonds at issuance.

Accepted Answer

The present value of the bond is calculated using the market rate of 8% (4% semiannually) to discount the semiannual interest payments and the principal repayment. The present value of the interest payments and the principal is $62,393.

Question 4

On January 1, 2015, Finch Company issued $72,000 of 5-year bonds with a stated rate of 8%. The market rate at time of issue was 12%, so the bonds were discounted and sold for $61,401. Finch uses the effective-interest method of amortization for bond discount. Semiannual interest payments are made on June 30 and December 31 of each year. How much Interest Expense will be recorded when the first interest payment is made?

Accepted Answer

The interest expense is calculated using the market rate of 12% on the carrying amount of the bonds. The carrying amount at issuance is $61,401, so the interest expense for the first period is $61,401 * (12% / 2) = $3,684.06, rounded to $3,684.

Question 5

Using the present value tables, compute the present value of $30,000 discounted back 6 periods at 7%.

Accepted Answer

Using the present value table for a discount rate of 7% and n=6 periods, the present value factor is 0.798.
Present value = $30,000 x 0.798 = $23,940. Therefore, the best choice is D, which is the closest option to $23,940.

Question 6

The principal amount is $80,000, the stated rate is 10%, and the term of the bond is 8 years. The bond pays interest semiannually. At the time of issue, the market rate is 9%. What is the present value of the bond at the market rate?

The answer of The principal amount is $80,000, the stated...

Question 7

On January 1, 2015, Finch Company issued $72,000 of 5-year bonds with a stated rate of 8%. The market rate at time of issue was 12%, so the bonds were discounted and sold for $61,401. Finch uses the effective-interest method of amortization for bond discount. Semiannual interest payments are made on June 30 and December 31 of each year. Which of the following is the correct journal entry to record the first interest payment? (Round all amounts to the nearest whole dollar.)

Accepted Answer

Semiannual interest payment = $72,000 x 8% x 1/2 = $2,880
Interest expense = Carrying value at the beginning of the period x Effective interest rate
= ($72,000 - $1,401) x 12% = $8,157

Therefore, the journal entry to record the first interest payment on June 30, 2015, would be:
Interest Expense                   8,157
Discount on Bonds Payable      723
Cash                                   2,880
    Bond interest expense and discount on bonds payable are debited, and cash is credited with the semiannual interest payment.

Question 8

On January 1, 2014, Partridge Company issued $50,000 of 6-year bonds with a stated rate of 3%. The market rate at time of issue was 4%, so the bonds were discounted and sold for $47,356. Partridge uses the effective-interest method of amortization for bond discount. Semiannual interest payments are made on June 30 and December 31 of each year. Prepare the amortization table for the first four interest payments.

Question 9

On January 1, 2014, Zing Services issued $165,000 of 6-year bonds with a stated rate of 12%. The market rate at time of issue was 11%, so the bonds were issued with a premium and sold for $172,110. Zing uses the effective-interest method to amortize bond premium. Semiannual interest payments are made on June 30 and December 31 of each year. Which of the following is the correct journal entry to record the first interest payment?

Question 10

On January 1, 2013, Diab Services issued $140,000 of 4-year bonds with a stated rate of 9%. The market rate at time of issue was 8%, so the bonds were issued at a premium and sold for $144,713. Diab uses the effective-interest method to amortize bond premium. Semiannual interest payments are made on June 30 and December 31 of each year. Prepare the amortization table for the first four interest payments.

Question 11

On January 1, 2014, Zing Services issued $165,000 of 6-year bonds with a stated rate of 12%. The market rate at time of issue was 11%, so the bonds were issued with a premium and sold for $172,110. Zing uses the effective-interest method to amortize bond premium. Semiannual interest payments are made on June 30 and December 31 of each year. How much Interest Expense will be recorded when the first interest payment is made?

Accepted Answer

First, we need to calculate the premium on the bond:
Premium = Issue Price - Face Value
Premium = $172,110 - $165,000
Premium = $7,110

Next, we need to calculate the semiannual interest payment:
Interest Payment = Stated Rate * Face Value / 2
Interest Payment = 12% * $165,000 / 2
Interest Payment = $9,900

To calculate the interest expense, we first need to calculate the bond carrying value on the date of the first interest payment:
Carrying Value = Issue Price - Amortization of Premium
Carrying Value = $172,110 - ($7,110 / 12) = $171,104

Finally, we can calculate the Interest Expense:
Interest Expense = Effective Interest Rate * Carrying Value
Effective Interest Rate = (1 + Market Rate / 2) ^ 2 - 1
Effective Interest Rate = (1 + 0.11 / 2) ^ 2 - 1 = 0.1121 or 11.21%
Interest Expense = 11.21% * $171,104 = $19,234.34 (for the full year)
Since this is a semiannual payment, we divide by 2 to get the interest expense for the first payment:
Interest Expense = $19,234.34 / 2 = $9,617.17
Therefore, the answer is B) $9,466.
