On January 1, year 1 , Korn Co. sold to Kay Corp. $400,000 of its 10% bonds for $354,118 to yield 12%. Interest is payable semiannually on January 1 and July 1. What amount should Korn report as interest expense for the 6 months ended June 30, year 1 ?A. $21,247B. $20,000C. $17,706D. $24,000

B. $20,000

Explanation:

Interest on the bond is paid by the face value coupon and coupon rate of the bond. Face value is multiplied by the coupon rate to calculate yearly interest payment. to calculate semiannual payment divide the yearly payment by 2.

Interest payment = Face value x Coupon rate

Interest payment = $400,000 x 10%

Interest payment = $40,000 yearly

Interest payment = $40,000 / 2 = $20,000 semiannually

A) $21,247

Explanation:

Since the bonds were sold at a discount in order for them to yield 12% interest rate instead of 10%, the issuing company (Korn Co.) must calculate the interest expense not using the face value of the bonds, instead it should use the market value and the true bond yield.

interest expense = bond market value x true bond yield x 6/12 = $354,118 x 12% x 0.5 = $21,247

being born in poverty would limit the people's chances, opportunities and benefits.

this happen because of several things, such as:

- poor people tend to gain less access to good education and nutrition. this mean that their chance to obtain high paying jobs would also be limited.

- poor people tend to socialize with other poor people while the rich tend to socialize with other rich people. this means that simply throguh their social circle, rich people would have more business opportunities compared to the poor people.

- rich people tend to have more capital in their disposal. this would benefit them in business since it is far easier for them to fund their business operation compared to poor people.
