Moon Co. sells food blenders. During 2022, Moon made 37,000 blenders at an average cost of $80. It sold out 25,000 food blenders at an average price of $130. Moon provides a 2-year warranty for each blender sold and estimates that 9% of blenders will be returned for warranty with an estimated cost of $36 each. By the end of 2022, Moon has spent $44,000 servicing the warranty repairs. All the above transactions have been settled in cash. During 2022, Moon has 50 employees who work 5-day per week and get paid each other Friday. By December 22, 2022, Moon has paid salaries of $324,000 and payroll tax expenses of $37,000 for the year. Since the business grows quickly, Moon needs cash to expand. By the end of 2021, the Board of Directors authorized the management to issue 10-year bonds with a par value of $3,000,000, an annual contract interest rate of 8%, and semi-annual interest payments. Moon chose to use the straight-line method to amortize discounts or premiums on its bonds. On January 1, 2022, management issued the above-authorized 10-year bonds with a par value of $2,000,000. Interests on these bonds will be paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. On the issuance day, the annual market rate was 10% and the bonds were sold for 86.4112. 2. On June 30, Moon made the first interest payment for the $2,000,000, 8% bonds. 3. On July 1, Moon issued the rest of the above-authorized 10-year bonds with a par value of $1,000,000. Interests on these bonds will be paid semiannually on July 1 and January 1. Since the annual market rate on the issuance date was 5%, the bonds were sold for 122.39. 4. On December 31, Moon made the second interest payment for the $2,000,000, 8% bonds. Make any necessary adjustments for accrued bond interest expense and payroll-related liabilities at 12/31/2022. Specifically a. Moon should accrue interests on the $1,000,000 par value bonds because the interests will not be paid in cash until January 1, 2023. b. Moon has to adjust for the unpaid salaries for employees from December 23 to December 31. The total salaries for employees is $29,500 for this period and will be paid on January 5, 2023. Withholdings from the employees' salaries include FICA Social Security taxes at the rate of 6.2% and FICA Medicare taxes at the rate of 1.45% for all employee earnings during this period; $8,604 of federal income taxes, and $1,750 of medical insurance deductions. c. Moon has to adjust for payroll-related taxes to state and federal governments. State unemployment tax rate is 3% with a total of $885. The federal unemployment tax rate is 0.8% with a total of $236.
