B. Future value of a single amount
C. Present value of an annuity
D. Future value of an annuity Correct Answer: C. Present value of an annuity

B. Present value of the future outflow
C. Future value of the present outflow
D. Future value of the future outflow Correct Answer: B. Present value of the future outflow
This is basically saying the *price* of the long term liability is to recorded on the balance sheet,

The price of a bond is equal to:
A. The present value of the interest only
B. The future value of the face amount only
C. The future value of the face amount plus the
future value of the stated interest payments
D. The present value of the face amount plus the
present value of the stated interest payments Correct Answer: D. The present value of the face
amount plus the
present value of the stated interest payments
You can think of this on a timeline. If the price of something is the *present value of future cash
flows*, then you will take the present value of a series of payments AND then the present value
of the maturity value (or in this case the face value).
