Presented below are two independent situations. (a) Sage Co. sold $2,080,000 of 12%, 10-year bonds at 105 on January 1, 2020. The bonds were dated January 1, 2020, and pay interest on July 1 and January 1. If Sage uses the straight-line method to amortize bond premium or discount, determine the amount of interest expense to be reported on July 1, 2020, and December 31, 2020. (Round answer to O decimal places, e.g. 38,548.) Interest expense to be recorded ta 120784 (b) Pronghorn Inc. issued $590,000 of 9%, 10-year bonds on June 30, 2020, for $488,488. This price provided a yield of 12% on the bonds. Interest is payable semiannually on December 31 and June 30. If Pronghorn uses the effective-interest method, determine the amount of interest expense to record if financial statements are issued on October 31, 2020. (Round intermediate calculations to 6 decimal places, e.g. 1.251247 and final answer to O decimal places, e.g. 38,548.)
