profits and accounts for 9% of assets. South American operating manager
reports to the chief operating officer.
B. African segment, which contributes 9% of the company’s assets, 16% of total

C. Australian segment, which contributes 10% of total revenues, 2% of assets,
and 4% of profits. The Australian manager reports to the chief operating officer.
D. Texas based corporate headquarters

classified as an operating segment if either revenues, assets or profits are greater
than 10% of the company totals and the segment reports to the chief operating
decision maker.


2. Brayden Corporation issues bonds On May 1, year 1. The bonds are issued at 102
plus accrued interest, 100 of its 6%, $1,000 bonds. The bonds are dated January 1,
year 1. The bonds mature on January 1, year 5. Interest is payable semiannually on
January 1 and July 1. Brayden paid the investment bank $7,000 for the bond issue
costs. Based on the information above, Brayden would realize net cash receipts
from the bond issuance of


A. $ 97,000
B. $102,000

, C. $99,000
D. $ 95,000


ANSWER: A


$100,000 of bonds are issued at 102 plus accrued interest (4 months, from
January 1 to May 1) less bond issue costs of $7,000. The cash received for the
bonds is 102% of $100,000, or $102,000. The cash received for the accrued
interest is $2,000 ($100,000 x 6% x 4/12). Therefore, cash receipts total $97,000
($102,000 + $2,000 – $7,000).

purchased a wood engraving machine in January year 1 for $30,000 and the
estimated useful life was 10 years. The engraving machine was being depreciated
using the straight-line method and has no salvage value. In year 5, Tristan,

10 years) per year. Therefore, accumulated depreciation at January 1, year 5, was
$12,000 ($3,000 × 4 years). The book value at January 1, year 5, is equal to $18,000
($30,000 cost – $12,000 accumulated depreciation), and the remaining life is 8
