Answer:

Unamortized discount is $43,700

Explanation:

Unamortized bond discount=original bond discount-amortization to date

original bond discount is $46,000

Amortization =interest  payable-interest expense

interest payable=$400,000*10%*6/12

                            =$20,000

Interest expense=$354,000*10%*6/12

                             =$17,700

amortization of discount=$20,000-$17,700

                                        =$2300

unamorized bond discount=$46000-$2300

The unamorized bond discount at the end of the first six months is $43,700
