Expert Solution

Option - A

Face Value of bond = $ 407000

interest payment for semi Annual Period = 407000* 8% * ( 6/12)

16280

Term period of bonds = 10 years

Discount on bonds = Face Value - issu price

= 407000 - 402000

= $ 5000

Straight line Amortization of discount per year

.= Discount / term period

= 5000 / 10

= $ 500

= $ 250
