Answer 1

Answer: amount of interest expense  Cross  should report =a. $14,000.

Explanation:

interest expense = Principal( Face value) x Rate x period( Time)

Carrying value of the bond ( face value ) =$300,000

Rate= 8%

year ended on December, therefore The interest expense recorded would be for four months ( From June 1 to December 31 )

Therefore the Interest Expense = $300,000 x 8% x 7/12

= $300,000 x 0.08 x 7/12

= $168,000/12

$14,000

The amount of interest expense  Cross  should report at the current year end is $14,000
