Expert Solution

1) Interest income to the investor = 291000*10% = $         29,100
Answer: Option [B]
2) It is a discount.
3) Carrying value at the end of year 1:
Face value of the bonds $     3,00,000
Less: Unamortized discount = 9000-(29100-24000) = $           3,900
Carrying value at the end of year 1 $     2,96,100
4) Carrying value just before the bonds are paid off $     3,00,000
5) No. Straight line does not reflect the interest expense correctly.
6) Cash interest paid each year = 300000*8% = $         24,000
7) Interest expense for Year 1 (for the issuer) $         29,100
8) Journal entry (for the issuer):
Interest expense $         29,100
