Nelson and Murdock pays a total of $8,456,234 to reacquire the bonds and retires them. Required1. The issuance of the bonds—assume that Nelson and Murdock has adopted a policy of crediting interest expense for the accrued interest on the date of sale.2. Payment of interest and related amortization on July 1, 2026.3. Reacquisition and retirement of the bonds.arrow_forward13 Which of the following is correct about the difference between basic earnings per share (EPS) and diluted earnings per share? Question 13 options: Basic EPS uses comprehensive income in its calculation, whereas diluted EPS does not. Basic EPS is not a required disclosure, whereas diluted EPS is required disclosure. Basic EPS uses total common shares outstanding, whereas diluted EPS uses the weighted-average number of common shares. Basic EPS is not adjusted for the potential dilutive effects of complex financial structures, whereas diluted EPS is adjusted.arrow_forwardPlease explain the solution to this general accounting problem with accurate explanations.arrow_forward
