On 1 January 20X5, Franco Ltd. purchased $470,000 of Gentron Company 7.00% bonds. The bonds pay semi-annual interest each 30 June and 31 December. The market interest rate was 8% on the date of purchase. The bonds mature on 31 December 20X10. The company has a 31 December year-end.
1. Calculate the price paid by Franco Ltd.(Do not round interemediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest dollar.
2. Assume that the bond is classified as an AC investment. Construct a table that shows interest revenue reported by Franco, and the carrying value of the investment, for four interest perios. Use the effective interest method. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to the nearest dollar amount.) The chart is left to right - cash payment, interest revenue, amortization, bond carrying value.
3. Prepare the entries for the first four interest periods based on your calculations in question 2.(If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select no journal entry required. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answers to the nearest dollar amount.)
4. Assume instead that the bond is classified as FVTPL investment, and the fair value at the end of 20X5 was $455,000 and was $459,500 at the end of 20X6. Prepare the entries for each interest period in 20X5 and 20X6, and adjust the bond to fair value at the end of each fiscal year. (That is, the bond is not adjusted to fair value at each interest payment date, just at reporting date.)
