Q

A company issues $1,500,000 of par bonds at 98 on January 1, Year 1, with a maturity date of December 31, Year 30. Bond issue costs are $90,000, and the stated interest rate of the bonds is 6%. Interest is paid semiannually on January 1 and July 1. Ten years after the issue date, the entire issue was called at 102 and canceled. The company uses the straight-line method of amortization for bond discounts and issue costs, and the result of this method is not materially different from the effective interest method. The company should classify what amount as the loss on extinguishment of debt at the time the bonds are called?

A

A gain or loss on extinguishment of debt is the difference between the reacquisition price and the carrying amount of the debt (including any unamortized discount premium or debt issue costs). The bonds were issued for $1,470,000 ($1,500,000 × 98%), and a discount of $30,000 ($1,500,000 face amount - $1,470,000 proceeds) was recognized. Moreover, $90,000 of debt issue costs was incurred. Given straight-line amortization that is not materially different from the effective interest method, after 10 years, the balance of the discount is $20,000 [($30,000 ÷ 30) × 20]. The balance of debt issue costs is $60,000 [($90,000 ÷ 30) × 20]. Thus, on the extinguishment date, the total carrying amount of the bonds is $1,420,000 ($1,500,000 - $20,000 unamortized discount - $60,000 unamortized issue costs). The reacquisition price is $1,530,000 ($1,500,000 × 102%), so the loss on extinguishment of debt is $110,000 ($1,530,000 reacquisition price - $1,420,000 carrying amount of the bonds).

Q

On January 2 of the current year, Peace Co. paid $310,000 to purchase 75% of the voting shares of Surge Co. Peace reported retained earnings of $80,000, and Surge reported contributed capital of $300,000 and retained earnings of $100,000. The purchase differential was attributed to depreciable assets with a remaining useful life of 10 years. Peace used the equity method in accounting for its investment in Surge. Surge reported net income of $20,000 and paid dividends of $8,000 during the current year. Peace reported income, exclusive of its income from Surge, of $30,000 and paid dividends of $15,000 during the current year. What amount will Peace report as dividends declared and paid in its current year’s consolidated statement of retained earnings?

A

When the financial statements of Peace and Surge are consolidated, the equity of Surge, including Surge’s retained earnings, will be eliminated.

The consolidated statement of retained earnings will include only the $15,000 dividend paid by Peace in the current year.

Passey Co.

Book Value: Plant assets: 1,700,000

Fair Value: Plant assets: 1,800,000

Passey Co.’s consolidated financial statements as of December 31, Year 1, would report:

a. Gain of $270,000.
b. A deferred credit (negative goodwill) of $235,000.
c. A deferred credit (negative goodwill) of $270,000.
d. Gain of $235,000.

Passey Co. paid = 10000*9= 90000

The got a net value of 360000 and their cost is only 90000 that means they have a gain of 270000

On July 1, Year 1, York Co. purchased as a held-to-maturity investment $1,000,000 of Park, Inc.’s 8% bonds for $946,000, including accrued interest of $40,000. The bonds were purchased to yield 10% interest. The bonds mature on January 1, Year 8, and pay interest annually on January 1. York uses the effective interest method of amortization. In its December 31, Year 1, balance sheet, what amount should York report as investment in bonds?

A
946,000 less accrued interest 40,000 = 906,000 CV
to calc amortized disc from 7/1 -> 12/31
CV           X   semi int rate
906,000 X   (10%/2) 5%
=45300
int receivable
1,000,000 X (8%/2) = 40,000

45300 - 40000 = 5300 amortized amount

906000 + 5300 = 911300

Q

Jent Corp. purchased bonds at a discount of $10,000. Subsequently, Jent sold these bonds at a premium of $14,000.

During the period that Jent held this investment, amortization of the discount amounted to $2,000. What amount should Jent report as gain on the sale of bonds?

A

100,000 face
if bought at 10,000 discount, recorded at 90,000, then a 2,000 amortization of discount brings carrying value to 92,000

if sold at a premium then they were sold for 114,000 (face 100,000 + 14,000)

114000-92000=22,000 gain
