Answer 1

Answer:-

Journalize the held -to-maturity transactions

Transactions on November 11.

Working Notes:-

Interest receivable = (Amount of bonds * Stated interest rate * interest time period )

= $ 30,000,000 * 12/100 * 1/12

= $300,000

Interest receivable = (Amount of bonds * Stated interest rate * interest time period )

= $ 48,000,000 * 10/100 *2/12

= $800,000
