Answer 1

At what amount should the gain from the sale of the building be reported?

Gain on sale of Building = Present Value of the Note minus the book value of the building = 300000/(1+11%)⁶ -(250000-100000) = 160392.3 - 150000 = 10392.25

How much did Sandstone pay for the bonds?

Sandstone needs to pay = Present Value of face value + Present Value of all interest payments

We can calculate with the help of financial calculator:

PMT = 18,000

N = 10yrs

FV = 200000

I/Y = 11%

CPT -> PV = $290,638.72

Sandstone needs to pay = $290,638.72

How much was recorded as the cost of the machine?

Cost of the machine = Present Value of all the installments of 4000

Using financial calculator:

PMT = 4000

N = 10

FV = 0

I/Y = 11%

CPT PV = $33,200

Cost of the machine = $33,200

The tractor should be recorded on December 31, 2013, at what amount?

Price of the Tractor = down payment + PV of 8 instalments = 20000 + PV of 8 emi of 5000

Using financial calculator we can calculate pV of the instalments

PMT = 5000

FV = 0

N = 8

I/Y = 11%

CPT PV = 34312.76

Cost of Tractor = $20,000+$34,312.76 = $54,312.76
