Carrying Value of the bond = $50 million * 3.75% * PVAF (4%, 20) + $50 million * PVF(4%,20)

= $50 million * 3.75% * 13.59033 + $50 million * 0.45639

= $48,301,209

Discount on issue of Bond = $50,000,000 - $48,301,209 = $1,698,791

Amortization of Discount per period = $1,698,791/ 20 periods = $84,940

Amortization of Discount for the period Oct 19 to Dec 19 = $42,470

Stated Interest per period = $50 million * 3.75% = $1,875,000

Stated Interest for the period Oct 19 to Dec 19 = $937,500
