On December 1, 2017, Cone Company issued its 8%, $710,000 face value bonds for $820,000, plus accrued interest. Interest is payable on November 1 and May 1. On December 31, 2019, the book value of the bonds, inclusive of the unamortized premium, was $750,000. On July 1, 2020, Cone reacquired the bonds at 97 plus accrued interest. Cone appropriately uses the straight-line method for the amortization because the results do not materially differ from those of the effective interest method.

Required:

Explanation:

Computation of gain on early retirement of bonds

Carrying value as at December 1 2017                        $820,000

Carrying value as at December 31 2019                       ($750,000)

Premium amortized                                                            $70,000

amortization per month($70,000/25)                                $2800

(December 1 2017-December 31 2019 is 25 months)

Carrying value as at December 31 2019                       $750,000

less amortization for 2020($2800*6 months)                ($16,800 )

Carrying value as at July 1 2020                                    $733,200

Proceeds paid for redemption($710,000*98%)             ($695,800 )

Gain on redemption                                                         $37,400

At redemption the bonds were worth $733,200 but only $695,800 was paid ,hence the excess is the gain on bonds redemption

b. a single paragraph.

a paragraph is a series of sentences that are organized and make sense, and are all related to a single topic . almost every piece of writing you do that is longer than a few sentences should be organized into paragraphs. this is because paragraphs show a reader where the subdivisions of an essay begin and end, and thus the reader see the organization of the essay into subjects in order to be able to understand its main points.

the answer is true.  i do believe this is the answer because of the amount of wrecks people get into each year.  if you double this with avoiding those so said wrecks, that would make you a "skilled" driver.
