A new publicly financed bridge is expected to reduce the cost of auto travel between two areas by Php1 per trip. This cost reduction to motorists consists of a reduction in travel time, auto depreciation and petrol expenses totaling Php1.50 per trip, less the Php0.50 bridge toll which the government will collect. Before the bridge was built there were 1 million trips per year between the two areas. Once the bridge is in operation, it is estimated that there will be 1.5 million trips per year between the two areas. In terms of areas under the demand curve, what is the annual benefit of the bridge:


To motorists?


To the government?

Blossom Inc., a publicly accountable enterprise that reports in accordance with IFRS, issued convertible bonds for the first time on January 1, 2017. The $1 million of six-year, 10% (payable annually on December 31, starting December 31, 2017), convertible bonds were issued at 107, yielding 7%. The bonds would have been issued at 96 without a conversion feature, and yielding a higher rate of return. The bonds are convertible at the investor’s option.

The company’s bookkeeper recorded the bonds at 107 and, based on the $1,070,000 bond carrying value, recorded interest expense using the effective interest method for 2017. He prepared the following amortization table:

Cash Interest Effective Interest Premium Carrying Amount
Date (10%) (7%) Amortization of Bonds
Jan. 1, 2017 $1,070,000
Dec. 31, 2017 $100,000 $74,900 $25,100 1,044,900

You were hired as an accountant to replace the bookkeeper in November 2018. It is now December 31, 2018, the company’s year end, and the CEO is concerned that the company’s debt covenant may be breached. The debt covenant requires Blossom to maintain a maximum debt to equity ratio of 2.3. Based on the current financial statements, the debt-to-equity ratio would be 2.6. The CEO recalls hearing that convertible bonds should be reported by separating out the liability and equity components, yet he does not see any equity amounts related to the bonds on the current financial statements. He has asked you to look into the bond transactions recorded and make any necessary adjustments. He would also like you to explain how any adjustments that you make affect the debt to equity ratio.

Determine the amount that should have been reported in the equity section of the statement of financial position at January 1, 2017, for the conversion right, considering that the company must comply with IFRS.

Prepare the journal entry that should have been recorded on January 1, 2017

Using a financial calculator or computer spreadsheet functions, calculate the effective rate (yield rate) for the bonds.

Prepare a bond amortization schedule from January 1, 2017, to December 31, 2021, using the effective interest method and the corrected value for the bonds.

Prepare the journal entry dated January 1, 2018 to correct the bookkeeper’s recording errors in 2017. Ignore income tax effects.

Prepare the journal entry at December 31, 2018 for the interest payment on the bonds.

Be sure to mention each branch of government and thoroughly describe each branch’s role in providing checks and balances to the action of the Senate. If the bill does in fact become law, generally describe what, if anything, states who may oppose the new law may do to counteract or abate the impact of the federal law.
