Answer:
A) $21,068
B) $1,525.24
C) $280,457.24
Explanation:
The amount of the discount = face value - market value = $300,000 - $278,932 = $21,068
Amount of interest recognized on December 31, year 1 = ($278,932 x 7%) - ($300,000 x 6%) = $19,525.24 - $18,000 = $1,525.24
Carrying value of the bond liability = $278,932 + $1,525.24 = $280,457.24
