On April 1, 2024 Eagle Corp. purchased $60,000 of Bobcat Inc.’s 8% bonds at a purchase price of 105. At the time of purchase the market rate of interest was 6%.  Eagle Corp. whose year end is December 31, expects to hold the bonds until their maturity date 5 years from the date of purchase. Interest on the bonds will be paid every April 1 and October 1 until maturity.  What is the carrying value (amortized cost) of the bond that Eagle Corp. would report on October 1, 2024? You must use the honorlock calculator to solve the problem. (round to the nearest dollar).     Answer:  $_______

Eagle Corp. paid $1,500,000 for a group purchase of land, a building, and equipment.  At the time of the acquisition, the land had a current market value of $500,000, the building had a current market value of $800,000, and the equipment had a current market value of $300,000.  In what amount should the equipment account be debited?
