B. $2,560,000. C. $2,614,000. D. $1,595,520.
Correct Answer is (A): $1526920
Bond issue price = 1600*$1000* 98.3% = $1,5,72,800 |
Discount on issue of bond = $1,600,000 - $1,572,800 = $27,200 |
Bond issue cost = $54,000 |
Amortization of disount for 2018 = $27200 / 10 = $2720 |
Amortization of issue cost for 2018 = $54,000 / 10 = $5400 |
Unamortized discount at the end of 2018 = $27200 - $2720 = $24480 |
Unamortized issue cost at the end of 2018 = $54000 - $5,400 = $48600 |
Carrying value of bond reported in December 31, 2018 = Face value of bond - Unamortized discount - Unamortized issue cost |
= $1,600,000 - $24480 - $48600 = $1,526920 |
