On January 1, 2018, Whittington Stoves issued $820 million of its 6% bonds for $756 million. The bonds were priced to yield 8%. Interest is payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Whittington records interest at the effective rate and elected the option to report these bonds at their fair value. One million dollars of the increase in fair value was due to a change in the general (risk-free) rate of interest.
