Answer 1

1

Discount amortization per period = (271091-260000)/10= $1109

Cash interest per period = 260000*7%/2= $9100

Debit Bond Interest Expense $10,209; credit Discount on Bonds Payable $1,109; credit Cash $9,100.

Option A is correct

2

Earnings per share = Net income/Weighted-average common shares outstanding

Earnings per share = 33180/8400= $3.95

Option D is correct

3

Book value per common share = (Total stockholders' equity-Preferred stock)/Shares of common stock

Book value per common share = (600000-250000)/20000= $17.50.

Option B is correct
