    I’ve had a few requests for April/May Study Groups…March will be here before you know it.

    In order to take an early April exam, you should begin studying…now. 🙂

    A. Was reduced to $5

    B. B. Was reduced to $8

    C. C. Remained at $10

    D. D. Was reduced to $2

    That's a tricky one, isn't it. I would say it remained at $10, since par is par. If I get this one right, I will consider doing the electric slide.

    Ah we are of like minds my friend. That was my guess too, but in actuality when a stock split is issued the TOTAL par value remains the same so that would be $100,000, but now there are 50,000 shares so each share has a par value of $2.

    The $2 per share was my second option…. 🙂

    Regarding Treasury, no idea, butmy guess would be par since IFRS conceptually favors fair value and cost.

    They actually do not allow the FV method for accounting for treasury stock. Who woulda thunk it? I guessed PAR too.

    Kent, Inc has been forced into bankruptcy and has begun to liquidate. Unsecured claims will be paid at the rate of 40 cents on the dollar. Apex Co. holds a non-interest bearing note receivable from Kent in the amount of $100,000, collateralized by machinery with a liquidation value of $25,000. The total amount to be realized by Apex on this note receivable is:

    A. 25,000

    B. 55,000

    C. 40,000

    D. 65,000

    Would it be $55k?

    65,000 (100,000*.40 + 25,000) is the answer

    Is there a rule associated? My logic was ($100k-$25k*.40) + $25k.

    55k (0.40 * 75000) + 25000

    It's $55K. The .40 only applies to the unsecured amount. $25K of the debt is secured by the liquidation of the machine. ($100,000-$25,000) = $75,000.

    $75,000(.40) = $30,000.

    $30,000 + $25,000 = $55,000
