Answer:

c. This does not qualify as plagiarism.

Clarification:

While implied references to Merck's charitable activities appear in the source material, it isn't classified as plagiarism since the source does not specify how Merck "motivates individuals throughout the organization". The student’s material mentions additional facts not derived from the source. Hence, it is not considered plagiarism.

Answer:

1. Record the journal entry to log the cash received from bond issuance on July 1, Year 1.

Dr Cash 37,282,062

Dr Discount on bonds payable 2,717,938

    Cr Bonds payable 40,000,000

2. Make the following journal entries:

a. Document the first semiannual interest payment on December 31, Year 1, along with the bond discount amortization, utilizing the straight-line approach. Round to the nearest dollar.

discount on bonds payable = 2,717,938 / 20 coupons = $135,896.90

December 31, Year 1, first coupon payment

Dr Interest expense 1,535,896.90

    Cr Cash 1,400,000

    Cr Discount on bonds payable 135,896.90

b. Capture the interest payment on June 30, Year 2, and the bond discount amortization, again utilizing the straight-line method. Round to the nearest dollar.

June 30, Year 2, second coupon payment

Dr Interest expense 1,535,896.90

    Cr Cash 1,400,000

    Cr Discount on bonds payable 135,896.90

3. Calculate the total interest expense for Year 1.

$1,535,896.90

4. When the bond proceeds are consistently lower than the bond face value if the contract rate is lower than the market rate of interest?

yes, if the market rate exceeds the coupon rate, the bonds will be issued at a discount.

5. (Appendix 1) Calculate the receipt price of $37,282,062 for the bonds by referring to the present value tables found in Appendix A at the conclusion of the textbook. Round to the nearest dollar.

bond price = PV of face value + PV of coupon payments

• PV of face value = $40,000,000 x 0.4564 (PV factor, 4%, 20 periods) = $18,256,000
• PV of coupon payments = $1,400,000 x 13.590 (PV annuity factor, 4%, 20 periods) = $19,026,000

bond's market price = $18,256,000 + $19,026,000 = $37,282,000

Answer:

a-1) Present value of the installment option is $93.08.

      Present value for immediate bill payment is $90.

a2) Opting to pay the bill immediately is the preferable choice.

b-1) Present value of the installment option amounts to $88.65.

b-2) In this scenario, paying in installments is the better option.

Explanation:

a-1) To determine the present value of the installment plan, the payments occur as follows: $25 immediately, followed by $25 at the end of each of the next 3 years. This setup constitutes an annuity due, and the present value can be calculated as follows:

PMT denotes the annuity payment at the start of each period, which is $25.

             i signifies the interest rate compounded per period.

=0.05

            n represents the number of payment periods, which amounts to 4.

Present value = =$93.08

The present value of immediate bill payment equals $100, reduced by the 10% discount, calculated as $100 * 0.9 = $90.

a-2) Paying immediately is advantageous since it costs $90 compared to the $93.08 present value of installments.

b1) If the installment payments do not commence for another year, the present value of the payment series is computed as:

                                          =

                                          = = 88.65

b-2) In this instance, paying via installments is better as it is less expensive at $88.65 compared to the immediate payment's present value at $90.

Response:

The buyer has the option to pursue specific performance of the contract. In real estate transactions, to be able to take legal action for specific performance, the buyer must have the necessary funds (or mortgage) ready for closing. It’s challenging to claim damages due to the unwillingness of the seller to proceed with a house sale, as houses are unique; similar properties may vary greatly in value depending on their locations.

By pursuing specific performance, the non-breaching party requests that the other party fulfill their obligations under the contract.
