Answer 1

Given:

Investment worth = $100,000

Bond Percentage: 5% at face value that the company intends to hold until the bond maturity date

Therefore, the interest revenue recognized when each semiannual interest payment is received would be recorded as a credit to interest revenue that is equal to $2,500

Solution: Interest Revenue = $100,000*0.05

= $5,000 Annually

= $5,000/2

= $2,500 semi-annually
