Assume that a Parent company owns 100 percent of its Subsidiary. On January 1, 2019, the Parent company had $600,000 of bonds payable (par) outstanding with a carrying value of $630,000. The bonds were originally issued to an unaffiliated company. On that same date, the Subsidiary acquired the bonds for $594,000. During 2019, the Parent company reported $270,000 of (pre-consolidation) income from its own operations (i. e., prior to any equity method adjustments by the Parent company) and after recording interest expense. The Subsidiary reported $150,000 of (pre-consolidation) income from its own operations after recording interest income. Related to the bonds during 2019, the parent reported interest expense of $67,500 while the subsidiary reported interest income of $61,500. Determine the following amounts that will appear in the 2019 consolidated income statement:

Why is the cournot equilibrium an​ equilibrium? a. there are​ short-run barriers to exit in a cournot​ duopoly, so both firms cannot alter their output levels. b. given the other​ firm's level of​ production, both firms are maximizing profits and cannot improve their situation by unilaterally altering their level of output. c. both firms operate at zero profit under a cournot​ equilibrium, so they would face negative profits if they change output. d. both firms operate at minimum​ long-run average cost under a cournot​ equilibrium, so changes to output would reduce​ long-run profits. even if they​ can't collude, why​ don't firms set their outputs at the joint​ profit-maximizing levels​ (i. e., the levels they would have chosen had they​ colluded)? a. given that other firm produces at the collusive​ level, a firm could increase their own profits by increasing output above the collusive level. b. the midpoint of the collusion curve​ (i. e., the collusive​ outcome) lies below the reaction​ curves, so both firms have an incentive to increase output under the cournot duopoly. c. both a and b are correct d. both a and b are incorrect
