You have just started work for Warren Co. as part of the controller’s group involved in current financial reporting problems

(Issues Raised about Investment Securities) You have just started work for Warren Co. as part of the controller’s group involved in current financial reporting problems. Jane Henshaw, controller for Warren, is interested in your accounting background because the company has experienced a series of financial reporting surprises over the last few years. Recently, the controller has learned from the company’s auditors that there is authoritative literature that may apply to its investment in securities. She assumes that you are familiar with this pronouncement and asks how the following situations should be reported in the financial statements

Situation 1
Trading securities in the current assets section have a fair value that is $4,200 lower than cost.
Situation 2
A trading security whose fair value is currently less than cost is transferred to the available-for-sale category.
Situation 3
An available-for-sale security whose fair value is currently less than cost is classified as noncurrent but is to be reclassified as current.
Situation 4
A company’s portfolio of available-for-sale securities consists of the common stock of one company. At the end of the prior year, the fair value of the security was 50% of original cost, and this reduction in fair value was reported as an other than temporary impairment. However, at the end of the current year the fair value of the security had appreciated to twice the original cost.
Situation 5
The company has purchased some convertible debentures that it plans to hold for less than a year. The fair value of the convertible debentures is $7,700 below its cost.

Instructions

Problem 6-7 (P6-7) (Time Value Concepts Applied to Solve Business Problems) Answer the following questions related to Derek Lee Inc.

(a) Derek Lee Inc. has $572,000 to invest. The company is trying to decide between two alternative uses of the funds. One alternative provides $80,000 at the end of each year for 12 years, and the other is to receive a single lump sum payment of $1,900,000 at the end of the 12 years. Which alternative should Lee select? Assume the interest rate is constant over the entire investment.

(b) Derek Lee Inc. has completed the purchase of new Dell computers. The fair market value of the equipment is $824,150. The purchase agreement specifies an immediate down payment of $200,000 and semiannual payments of $76,952 beginning at the end of 6 months for 5 years. What is the interest rate, to the nearest percent, used in discounting this purchase transaction?

(c) Derek Lee Inc. loans money to John Kruk Corporation in the amount of $600,000. Lee accepts an 8% note due in 7 years with interest payable semiannually. After 2 years (and receipt of interest for 2 years), Lee needs money and therefore sells the note to Chicago National Bank, which demands interest on the note of 10% compounded semiannually. What is the amount Lee will receive on the sale of the note?

(d) Derek Lee Inc. wishes to accumulate $1,300,000 by December 31, 2017, to retire bonds outstanding. The company deposits $300,000 on December 31, 2007, which will earn interest at 10% compounded quarterly, to help in the retirement of this debt. In addition, the company wants to know how much should be deposited at the end of each quarter for 10 years to ensure that $1,300,000 is available at the end of 2017. (The quarterly deposits will also earn at a rate of 10%, compounded quarterly.) (Round to even dollars.)
