David Gain was the chief executive officer (CEO) of Forest Media Corp., which became interested in acquiring RS Communications, Inc. To initiate negotiations, Gain met with RS’s CEO, Gill Raz, on Friday, July 12. Two days later, Gain phoned his brother Mark, who bought 3,800 shares of RS stock on the following Monday. Mark discussed the deal with their father, Jordan, who bought 20,000 RS shares on Thursday. On July 25, the day before the RS bid was due, Gain phoned his parents’ home, and Mark bought another 3,200 RS shares. The same routine was followed over the next few days, with Gain periodically phoning Mark or Jordan, both of whom continued to buy RS shares. Forest’s bid was refused, but on August 5, RS announced its merger with another company. The price of RS stock rose 30 percent, increasing the value of Mark’s and Jordan’s shares by $664,024 and $412,875, respectively.

2) What is required to impose sanctions for this offense? Explain.

DaisyRose, Inc is an accounting firm with 30 accountants and has about $3 million annually in net revenues. They are located in an older office building that has a standard elevator. The accountant job descriptions require that they be able to analyze and prepare financial statements and tax returns for clients.

One of the accountants on staff, Iris, has developed macular degeneration and   because of that cannot see a standard computer screen. His doctors have told him that in the next few months he will not be able to see any computer screen. Iris has learned braille (raised type that allow those without sight to read). Iris approaches the CEO of DaisyRose to indicate that he needs voice activated software for his computer and that he would also need the computer to print in Braille so that he could read the returns and statements. Iris has also asked that the elevators be equipped with Braille on the touchpad so that he knows the proper buttons for each floor. The CEO calculates that all of these requests will cost about $100,000 up front and about $20,000 per year after that initial investment.

Please evaluate these facts under the Americans with Disabilities Act to determine whether or not the company will need to make the requested changes.

Splish Brothers Inc. is building a new hockey arena at a cost of $2,800,000. It received a down payment of $560,000 from local businesses to support the project, and now needs to borrow $2,240,000 to complete the project. It therefore decides to issue $2,240,000 of 10-year, 10.5% bonds. These bonds were issued on January 1, 2020, and pay interest annually on each January 1. The bonds yield 10% to the investor and have an effective interest rate to the issuer of 10.4053%. (There is an increased effective interest rate due to the capitalization of the bond issue costs.) Any additional funds that are needed to complete the project will be obtained from local businesses. Splish Brothers Inc. paid and capitalized $56,000 in bond issuance costs related to the bond issue. Splish Brothers prepares financial statements in accordance with IFRS.

1- Using (1) factor tables, (2) a financial calculator, or (3) Excel function PV, calculate the value of the bonds and prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds on January 1, 2020.

2- Prepare a bond amortization schedule up to and including January 1, 2025, using the effective interest method.

3- Assume that on July 1, 2023, the company retires half of the bonds at a cost of $1,193,000 plus accrued interest. Prepare the journal entries to record this retirement.
