Expert Solution

 

Step 1: Definition of amortization

It is a process to reduce the cost of the purchased asset.

Step 2: Effective-interest amortization

This method calculates interest expense based on the current carrying amount of the bond and the market interest rate at issuance. It then amortizes the difference between the cash interest payment and calculated interest expense as a decrease in the discount or premium.

 

There are three methods to amortize the bonds.
