Would the bondholdersbe assured of receiving all of their promisedpayments?arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is CORRECT? a. One disadvantage of zero coupon bonds is that the issuing firm cannot realize any tax savings from the use of debt until the bonds mature. b. Income bonds must pay interest only if the company earns the interest. Thus, these securities cannot bankrupt a company prior to their maturity, and this makes them safer to the issuing corporation than "regular" bonds. c. Once a firm declares bankruptcy, it must be liquidated by the trustee, who uses the proceeds to pay bondholders, unpaid wages, taxes, and legal fees. d. Other things held constant, a callable bond should have a lower yield to maturity than a noncallable bond. e.

On June 30, 2022, it publicly sold $2.5 million of 12% debentures in accordance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933.The financial statements filed with the registration statement contained the unqualified opinion of Baker & Co., CPAs.

- In early December of 2016, Kettle Corp purchased $50,000 of Icalc Company common stock, which constitutes less than 1% of Icalc’s outstanding shares. By December 31, 2016, the value of Icalc’s investment had fallen to $40,000, and Kettle recorded an unrealized loss. By December 31, 2017, the value of the Icalc investment had fallen to $25,000, and Kettle determined that it can no longer assert that it has both the intent and ability to hold the shares long enough for their fair value to recover, so Kettle recorded an OTT impairment. By December 31, 2018, fair value had recovered to $30,000. Required: Prepare appropriate entry(s) at December 31, 2016, 2017, and 2018, and for each year indicate how the scenario will affect net income, OCI, and comprehensive income.arrow_forwardConcord Corporation has $3070000 of short-term debt it expects to retire with proceeds from the sale of 86000 shares of common stock.

LED views $200,000 of the $450,000 loss as related to credit losses, and the other $250,000 as noncredit losses. LED thinks it is more likely than not that it will have to sell the investment before fair value recovers.

Unfortunately, a combination of problems at Taylor Company and in the debt securities market caused the fair value of the Taylor investment to decline to $1,280,000 during 2021. The following are the two alternative scenarios that should be analyzed independent of each other. Bloom now believes it is more likely than not that it will have to sell the Taylor bonds before the bonds have a chance to recover their fair value. Of the $570,000 decline in fair value, Bloom attributes $335,000 to credit losses, and $235,000 to noncredit losses.
