On January 1, 2017, Surreal Manufacturing issued 680 bonds, each with a face value of $1,000, a stated interest rate of 3.50 percent paid annually on December 31, and a maturity date of December 31, 2019. On the issue date, the market interest rate was 4.00 percent, so the total proceeds from the bond issue were $670,567. Surreal uses the effective-interest bond amortization method. Required: 1. Prepare a bond amortization schedule. (Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.) 2. Prepare the journal entry to record the bond issue. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.) 3. Prepare the journal entries to record the interest payments on December 31, 2017, and 2018. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.) 4. Prepare the journal entry to record the interest and face value payment on December 31, 2019. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.) 5. Assume the bonds are retired on January 1, 2019, at a price of 101. Give the journal entry to record the bond retirement. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Round your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)

Using C language: (Note: If a family of 4, apply family of 3 cost plus the cost of 1 participant. K800 is the fixed cost for a family of 3.)

A bus company organizes a tour. The tour is open for 4 days and participants can register for the number of days they would like to participate in the tour. Each participant would pay K 300 for the tour per day, a family of 3 would pay K 800 per day, and a family of 5 would pay K 1000 per day Write a program that calculates the cost of participating in the tour The program reads the number of participants input by the user, and the number of days of participation Based on these variables and the prices outlined for the tour, the program should then calculate the total cost of participating in the tour If a participant(s) registers for more than 2 days of the tour, the first 2 days will be at full price while the days after will be at half price Include the program algorithm in your design.

Develop a simulation model for a 3-year financial analysis of total profit based on the following data and information.

Sales volume in the first year is estimated to be 100,000 units and is projected to grow at a rate that is normally distributed with a mean of 7% per year and a standard deviation of 4%. The selling price is $10, and the price increase is normally distributed with a mean of $0.50 and standard deviation of $0.05 each year. Per-unit variable costs are $3, and annual fixed costs are $200,000. Per-unit costs are expected to in- crease by an amount normally distributed with a mean of 5% per year and standard deviation of 2%. Fixed costs are expected to increase following a normal disribution with a mean of 10% per year and standard de- viation of 3%. Based on 10,000 simulation trials, find the average 3-year cumulative profit.

Generate and explain a trend chart showing net profit by year.

Question 1 – Periodic Inventory System
Amna's Jewelry Store purchased three diamond and emerald bracelets during March. The price of diamonds has fluctuated wildly during the month, causing the supplying firm to change the price of the bracelets it sells to Amna's Jewelry Store.
a. On March 5, the first bracelet cost $4,600.
b. On March 15, the second bracelet cost $5,100.
c. On March 20, the third bracelet cost $3,500.
Suppose Jayne's Jewelry Store sold two of these bracelets for $7,000 each.
Required:
1. Using FIFO, what is the cost of goods sold for these sales and what is the value of ending inventory? What is the gross profit?
2. Using LIFO, what is the cost of goods sold for these sales and what is the value of ending inventory? What is the gross profit?
3. Using weighted average cost, what is the cost of goods sold and what is the value of ending inventory? What is the gross profit?

VAUGHN Ltd. had earnings per share of $5 as of December 31, 2022, but paid no dividends. Earnings were expected to grow at 14.8 percent per year for the following five years.
