Fargus Corporation owned 61% of the voting common stock of Sanatee, Inc. The parent's interest was acquired several years ago on the date that the subsidiary was formed. Consequently, no goodwill or other allocation was recorded in connection with the acquisition price.
On January 1, 2010, Sanatee sold $1,800,000 in ten-year bonds to the public at 108. The bonds pay a 10% interest rate every December 31. Fargus acquired 40% of these bonds on April 1, 2012, for 95% of the face value. Both companies utilized the straight-line method of amortization.

Prepare amortization tables for Fargus (4/1/2012 to 12/31/2013) and Sanatee (1/1/2010 to 12/31/2013)?

Determine whether this is gain/loss on retirement of bond on April 1 2012?

Determine the consolidated interest expense on Dec 31 2012?

If Fargus has net income $200,000 and Sanatee has net income $50,000 in 2012, how much is the consolidated net income?

What consolidation entry would be recorded in connection with these intra-entity bonds on December 31, 2012?  

What consolidation entry would be recorded in connection with these intra-entity bonds on December 31, 2013?

PLS KINDLY ADD THE REFERENCE OF THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION BELOW

Read/review the articles and websites posted in Module 2 prior to responding to the two questions below.

They are important and will help you in this course and your journey to become a professional nurse.

1) The differentiating factors between occupations and professions are education, theory and research, and a professional framework or model. There have been debates on whether nursing is a "profession" or a skill-based "occupation" has been ongoing for decades. Explain why nursing should or should not be considered a profession. Support your response with reliable, valid sources.

2) Compare and contrast the "nursing model" vs the "medical model". As a future professional nurse, why is it important to understand the differences between these two models/professions? Additionally, discuss why it is best to describe nursing as part of "healthcare system/health professions" rather than the "medical field/medicine".

The 2010 General Social Survey asked the question: "For how many days during the past 30 days was your mental health, which includes stress, depression, and problems with emotions, not good?" Based on responses from 1,151 US residents, the survey reported a 95% confidence interval of 3.40 to 4.24 days in 2010.


(a) Interpret this interval in context of the data.

  • 95% of surveys will report a mean number of ''not good'' days in the past 30 is between 3.40 and 4.24
  • The researchers can be 95% confident that the true population mean number of ''not good'' days in the past 30 is between 3.40 and 4.24
  • The researchers can be 95% confident that the sample mean number of ''not good'' days in the past 30 is between 3.40 and 4.24




(b) Suppose the researchers think a 99% confidence level would be more appropriate for this interval. Will this new interval be smaller or larger than the 95% confidence interval?

  • larger since the standard error would be larger
  • smaller since we will be more sure of our results
  • larger since the margin for error must be larger
  • smaller since we have less room for error

Required:

a.

An analyst can sometimes estimate the variable cost as a percentage of sales for a particular cost by dividing the amount of the change in the cost item between two years by the amount of the change in sales for those two years. The analyst can then multiply the variable cost percentage times sales to determine the total variable cost. Subtracting the variable cost yields the fixed cost for that particular item. Follow this procedure to determine the cost structure for costs of goods sold for Bargains, Inc.

b.

Bargains, Inc. projects sales to grow at the following percentages in future years: 2011, 10percent; 2012, 12 percent; 2013, 16 percent. Using this information, project sales, cost of goods sold and gross profit for Bargains, Inc. for 2011 to 2013.
