Q: Know whether the bond sold at par, at a premium, or at a discount. Determine the time elapsed since the bond's issuance. To calculate the carrying value of a bond, you will need to know how much of the premium or discount has been amortized, which will depend on the time elapsed since the issue date. Most premiums or discounts will be amortized on a straight-line basis, meaning the same amount is amortized each reporting period. For example, suppose a 10-year bond was issued two years ago. Two years of amortization have been recorded, and eight years of amortization remain. You need to know the remaining amount of unamortized discount or premium to calculate the carrying value. For example, suppose a company issued a 10 year bond with an $80 premium two years ago. Each year, $8 of amortization is recorded ($80 / 10 years = $8 per year). If two years have passed, then $16 of amortization has been recorded ($8 x 2 years = $16) and $64 is unamortized ($8 x 8 years = $64). Suppose a company sold $1,000 10%, 10 year bonds for $1,080 and 2 years have passed since the issue date. Calculate the premium by subtracting the face value from the sale price with the equation $1,000 - $1,080 = $80. The $80 premium will be amortized over the term of the bond at $8 per period. Since two years have passed, two amortization entries have been recorded. Eight amortization entries remain. Calculate the remaining amortization with the equation $8 x 8 = $64. The carrying value equals the face value of the bond plus the remaining premium to be amortized. Use the equation $1,000 + $64 = $1,064. Subtract the unamortized discount from the face value. For example, suppose a company sold a $1,000, 10%, 10 year bond for $920, or an $80 discount and two years have passed since the bond issuance. The annual amortization of the discount is $8. Two amortization entries have been recorded. Eight remain, for a value of $8 x 8 = $64. The carrying value of the bond is $1,000 - $64 = $936.
A: Determine the terms of the bond in question. Calculate the amortized portion of the discount or premium. Calculate the carrying value of a bond sold at premium. Calculate the carrying value of a bond sold at a discount using the same method.

Q: This is not necessary, but it will add a nice touch. Do not press the cone flat while doing this. Set the cone down on its side, then tuck the iron into the cone. Press the fabric with the iron for a few seconds, then rotate the cone and press again. Keep rotating and pressing the cone until the entire hem is ironed.
A: Iron the hem for a nicer finish.

Q: When you are checking on your guinea pig, listen for any groaning. Your guinea pig will give a distinctive groan when she is going into labour. Even if you've never heard it before, chances are you'll know it when you hear it. It should be under an hour and there should be about 5 minutes between pups. The sow will sit up with her head between her legs and make small 'hiccups', these are contractions. Do not hold the mother. Do not crowd the mother have only one person in the room, but another on standby to make calls if necessary. Do not intervene or touch the pups unless you need to. There is no need to remove other sows, they may even help with the pups. If any sign of complication or distress does arise, do not hesitate and contact the vet immediately. Signs of complication are: Mother strains for 15 minutes without producing a pup. Total labor is over one hour. Mother starts making "extreme" stress calls Mother seems to give in, appearing exhausted Mother salivates/foams at mouth Excessive bleeding (more than a tablespoon) The vet may try to manipulate the piglet into a position where the mother can pass it. However, a caesarean surgery may be required. Occasionally, with large litters, if the pups emerge too quickly, the mother will not have time to break the amniotic sac herself. In these cases, and only if you are sure the mother will not do it herself, carefully pick up the pup with a clean towel and remove the sac yourself, clearing any fluid from the face. Do not use your fingers or nails as you could accidentally scratch the pup's eyes. Whilst a pup becoming stuck in the birth canal or born breech is common, never intervene yourself. Only a skilled and experienced veterinarian should attempt to manipulate the position of pups before they are born. If a pup is not, carefully lift it up and hold it at arm's length. Its head should be away from you. Spin around once. The force should free any blockages from its throat and help it to start breathing. If this does not work, gently rub its back forwards and backwards which should achieve the same thing. She will eat the afterbirth and should clean each pup. She will also eat any bedding etc. with blood on it. When you are sure the birth is over, you can assist the sow in cleaning by removing any stained bedding. If the sow runs away from the pups, carefully place her and the pups together in a small box and her maternal instincts should kick-in.
A: Listen closely. Be present for the birth. During the birth, look out for signs of complications and be ready to call the vet if need be. Intervene yourself with the pups only when absolutely necessary. Check each pup is breathing. Check that the sow clears away any signs of the birth. Ensure that the sow is interested in the pups as first-time mothers, particularly young ones, may run away from the pups as if confused.

Q: The most important factor for your page rank is the content on your site. If your content is original and useful, it will draw more visitors than a page with poor content. Creating good content is not a simple task, and involves a lot of different factors. Websites that stagnate and do not stay current will drop in the ranks. If you're writing a blog, try to update at least once a week at the minimum. If readers click away from your site after discovering that the content does not match their search, you will get penalized when they leave quickly.
A:
Focus on your content. Update your website regularly with new content. Ensure that your content matches your site description and keywords.
