The following section is taken from Walenda Oil Company's balance sheet at December 31, 1998:

Interest is payable semiannually on January 1 and July 1. The bonds are callable on any semiannual interest date. Walenda uses straight-line amortization for any bond premium or discount. From December 31, 1998, the bonds will be outstanding for an additional 10 years ( 120 months). Assume no interest is accrued on June 30.
