4. Book value of Bonds on December 31 was $__90,848___.

5. Interest payment on June 30 was $__5,000___.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

January 1, 2017:

Face value of issued bonds = $100,000 ($1,000 * 100)

Coupon rate of interest = 10%

Effective rate of interest = 13%

Price of issued bonds =        $89,200 ($892 * 100)

Discount on bonds =             $10,800 ($100,000 - $89,200)

Interest payment = June 30 and December 31 (semiannually)

June 30:

Interest expense = $5,798 ($89,200 * 6.5%)

Cash payment =     $5,000 ($100,000 * 5%)

Amortization of discount = $798

Value of bonds = $89,998 ($89,200 + $798)

December 31, 2017:

Interest expense = $5,850 ($89,998 * 6.5%)

Cash payment =     $5,000 ($100,000 * 5%)

Amortization of discount = $850

Value of bonds = $90,848 ($89,998 + $850)
