Answer:

Daniel must recognize $300 interest income for 2020 and a $200 gain on the sale of the bond in 2021.

Explanation:

Interest Income for 2020 = Interest collected during the year - Accrued interest at the time of purchase of bond

Interest Income for 2020 = $600 - $300

Interest Income for 2020 = $300

Gain on sale of bond on January 1, 2021 = Selling price of the bond - Purchase price of the bond

Gain on sale of bond on January 1, 2021 = $10,200 - $10,000

Gain on sale of bond on January 1, 2021 = $200
