$105,000

Explanation:

Jackie's accounting profit is $105,000 as seen from the question. This is because an addition of her expenses comes in at under $500,000. That is, when you add labor costs, insurance and legal fees as well as rent, she has a remainder of about $105,000.

Answer and Explanation:

a. The bonds is issued at a discount, since the coupon rate is lower than the interest rate on the market.

b. Par value = $500,000.

Annual coupon = Par value of bonds × Coupon rate

= $500,000 × 4 %

= $20,000

Interest rate = 6%

n = 10

Present value of an annuity 6%, n = 10 = ((1 - ( 1 ÷ 1.06 ) × 10) ÷ 0.06)

= 7.3601

Present value 6%, n = 10 = (1 ÷ 1.06) × 10

= 0.5584

Issue price of the bonds = Annual coupon × Present value of an annuity + Par value of bonds × Present value

= $20,000 × 7.3601 + $500,000 × 0.5584

= $147,202 + $279,200

= $426,402

3.The Journal entry is shown below:-

Cash Dr, 426,402  

     To Discount on Bonds Payable $73,598  

      To Bonds Payable $500,000

Being cash is recorded)

4. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2010 = Issue price of the bonds × Interest rate

= $426,402 × 7%

= $29,848.14

5. The Journal entry is shown below:-

Interest Expense Dr, 29,848  

Discount on Bonds Payable Dr, 9,848  

      To Cash $20,000

(Being interest expenses is recorded)

6. Over the years the interest rate would rise as the bonds were issued at a discount.
