Textbook Question

Chapter 12, Problem 12.15BE

Change in principle; change to the equity method

• LO12-7

At the beginning of 2018, Pioneer Products’ ownership interest in the common stock of LLB Co. increased to the point that it became appropriate to begin using the equity method of accounting for the investment. The balance in the investment account was $44 million at the time of the change but would have been $56 million if Pioneer had used the equity method since first investing in LLB. How should Pioneer report the change? Would your answer be the same if Pioneer is changing from the equity method rather than to the equity method?

Suppose you take out a five-year car loan for $14000, paying an annual interest rate of 4%. You make monthly payments of $258 for this loan. Complete the table below as you pay off the loan.

Suppose you take out a five-year car loan for $12000, paying an annual interest rate of 3%. You make monthly payments of $216 for this loan. mocars Getting started (month 0): Here is how the process works. When you buy the car, right at month 0, you owe the full $12000. Applying the 3% interest to this (3% is "3 per $100" or "0.03 per $1"), you would owe 0.03*$12000 = $360 for the year. Since this is a monthly loan, we divide this by 12 to find the interest payment of $30 for the month. You pay $216 for the month, so $30 of your payment goes toward interest (and is never seen again...), and (216-30) = $186 pays down your loan. (Month 1): You just paid down $186 off your loan, so you now owe $11814 for the car. Using a similar process, you would owe 0.03* $11814 = $354.42 for the year, so (dividing by 12), you owe $29.54 in interest for the month. This means that of your $216 monthly payment, $29.54 goes toward interest and $186.46 pays down your loan. The values from above are included…

Suppose you have an investment account that earns an annual 9% interest rate, compounded monthly. It took $500 to open the account, so your opening balance is $500.
