Accounting Question
Two simple questions. Will check the plagiarism.
Wecker is the controller for Wildcat Company, which has numerous long-term investments in debt securities. Wildcat's investments are mainly in 10-year bonds.Wecker is preparing its year-end financial statements. In accounting for long-term debt securities, she knows that each long-term investment must be designated as a held-to-maturity or an available-for-sale security. Interest rates rose sharply this past year causing the portfolio's market value to substantially decline. The company does not intend to hold the bonds for the entire 10 years.
Wecker also earns a bonus each year which is computed as a percent of net income.
Questions:
1. Will Wecker's bonus depend in any way on the classification of the debt securities? Explain?
2. What criteria must Wecker use to classify the securities as held-to-maturity or available-for-sale?
