On 7/1/14, ABC sold 12% bonds having a maturity value of $800,000 for $861,771, resulting in an effective yield of 10%. The bonds are
dated 7/1/14, and mature 7/1/19. Interest is payable semiannually on July 1 and January 1. ABC uses the effective interest method of
amortization for bond premium or discount. Record the adjusting entry for the accrual of interest and the related amortization on 12/31/14.
Hint: Develop an abbreviated amortization schedule to accurately determine the interest expense. I came up with this: Bonds Interest Expense DR $43,088.55 Premium on Bond Payable DR $4,911.45 Cash CR $48,000
