A company purchased $60,000 of 5% bonds on May 1 at par value. The bonds pay interest on March 1 and September 1. The amount of interest accrued on December 31 (the company's year-end) would be:

The interest accrued is $2,500.

Explanation:

The income accrued will arise after the date of purchase (May 1) of the bonds to the ending date of the accounting period (December 31). This duration is equal to 8 months.`

For the first four months (May 1 to September 1) the income accrued will be the income received semiannually for these four month:

Income Accrued = $60,000 * 6/12 * 5% = $1,500 Because the payment that will be received will be $1000 which belongs to 6 months starting from March 1 and ending at September 1.

And for the remainder 4 months (September 1 to December 31)

Income Accrued = $60,000 * 4/12 * 5% = $1,000

So the total income accrued for the year will be $2,500

you can lose ranking 2 ways.

1) you don't have enough points due to you expending them by asking questions/your answers are deleted.

2) your brainliest's expired. this means that brainliests, once they exceed the 30 day limit, expires. this is to ensure that you continue to contribute into the community at a constant rank if you want to continue to have/exceed the rank you have right now.

if you go to profile, and click "show more information" located on the bottom left of the box with your information (on top of the questions answered, questions asked, and friends), you will be given the following information (example):

member since : 02/13/2017, 18: 11

questions answered: 9741

questions asked: 162

no. of brainliest answers: 1575

brainliest answers in last 30 days: 10

warnings: 0 view

questions/answers reported: 2637

questions/answers incorrectly reported: 64

look at the "brainliest answers in the last 30 days". this is the one that will affect your rank other than your points. again, once your brainliest expires (was earned 31+ days ago), it will not be counted.
