Answer 1

Answer:

B. $15,556

Explanation:

As given in the question

Face value of bond = $400,000

Carrying value of bond = $388,900

Discount from par value = $11,100

Coupon rate = 3%

Bond yielding rate = 4%

Interest revenue for the year = Carrying value of bond x Bond yielding rate

Interest revenue for the year = 388,900 x 4%

Interest revenue for the year = $15,556

The correct option is B. $15,556.
