On January 1, 2020, Pearl Company sold 11% bonds having a maturity value of $600,000 for $622,744, which provides the bondholders with a 10% yield. The bonds are dated January 1, 2020, and mature January 1, 2025, with interest payable December 31 of each year. Pearl Company allocates interest and unamortized discount or premium on the effective-interest basis.

ACCOUNTING FOR FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS     

1. Abacus Property Ltd bought shares in Texas Instruments on 15 August 2017 for $87,000. The intent of this investment was to make a gain. On 1 January 2020 the shares had a fair value and were recorded at $101,000. By the end of the year their fair value had fallen to $47,000. Record the appropriate journal entries for the year ending 31 December 2020. and Type any workings or justifications to the journal entries

2. Abacus Property Ltd also bought government bonds of the Kingdom of Enchancia for $2,000,333 accounted for using amortised cost on 1 January 2020. Due to uncertainty around royal succession, Abacus estimates that there is a 5% chance of default in the next 12 months which would result in a cash shortfall of $1,800,000 and a 10% chance of cash shortfall of $1,000,000. Record the appropriate journal entries for the year ending 31 December 2020.

3. Following from 2 above, explain how this differs from the measurement of most other accounting values and whether you view this as consistent with the conceptual framework.

Vaughn Company began operations late in 2019 and adopted the conventional retail inventory method. Because there was no beginning inventory for 2019 and no markdowns during 2019, the ending inventory for 2019 was $13,869 under both the conventional retail method and the LIFO retail method. At the end of 2020, management wants to compare the results of applying the conventional and LIFO retail methods. There was no change in the price level during 2020. The following data are available for computations.

Compute the cost of the 2020 ending inventory under both:

(a) The conventional retail method. (Round ratios for computational purposes to 0 decimal places, e.g. 78% and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 28,987.)

(b) The LIFO retail method. (Round ratios for computational purposes to 0 decimal places, e.g. 78% and final answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 28,987.)

On October 1, 2020, Mertag Company (a U.S.-based company) receives an order from a customer in Poland to deliver goods on January 31, 2021, for a price of 1,028,000 Polish zlotys (PLN). Mertag enters into a forward contract on October 1, 2020, to sell PLN 1,028,000 in four months (on January 31, 2021). U.S. dollar–Polish zloty exchange rates are as follows:

Mertag designates the forward contract as a fair value hedge of a foreign currency firm commitment. The fair value of the firm commitment is measured by referring to changes in the forward rate, and, therefore, forward points are included in assessing hedge effectiveness. Mertag must close its books and prepare financial statements on December 31. Discounting to present value can be ignored.

1. Prepare journal entries for the foreign currency forward contract, foreign currency firm commitment, and export sale.
2. Determine the net benefit, if any, realized by Mertag from entering into the forward contract.

Skysong Company began operations late in 2019 and adopted the conventional retail inventory method. Because there was no beginning inventory for 2019 and no markdowns during 2019, the ending inventory for 2019 was $13,708 under both the conventional retail method and the LIFO retail method. At the end of 2020, management wants to compare the results of applying the conventional and LIFO retail methods. There was no change in the price level during 2020. The following data are available for computations.

Compute the cost of the 2020 ending inventory under both:

(a) The conventional retail method. (Round ratios for computational purposes to 0 decimal places, e.g. 78% and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 28,987.)
