Expert Solution

a) The amount that Buffalo must pay for the bonds will be equal to sum of present value of interest payments and present value of matuarity value of bonds.

Par value of bonds = 333*$1,000 = $333,000

Annual Interest on bonds = $333,000*9% = $29,970

Present value of annual interest = $29,970*PVAF(11%, 10 yrs)

= $29,970*5.88923 = $176,500

Present value of matuarity value = $333,000*PVF(11%, 10 yrs)

= $333,000*0.35218 = $117,276

Buffalo must pay for bonds = PV of Annual Interest+PV of matuarity value

= $176,500+$117,276 = $293,776

b) The cost of tractor to be recorded will be equal to sum of amount paid at the time of purchase and present value of payments made at the end of next 8 years.

Cost of Tractor = Amount paid at the time of purchase+PV of $5,020 at the end of next 8 yrs

= $20,180+[$5,020*PVAF(12%, 8 yrs)]

= $20,180+($5,020*4.96764)

= $20,180+$24,938 = $45,118

Cost of tractor to be recorded = $45,118
