Question 1 of 3 > 172 MI Current Attempt in Progress -- Your answer is partially correct. Presented below are two independent situations. (a) Blossom Co. sold $2,120,000 of 12%, 10-year bonds at 103 on January 1, 2020. The bonds were dated January 1, 2020, and pay interest on July 1 and January 1. If Blossom 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 0 decimal places, e.g. 38,548.) Interest expense to be recorded $ 124020 (b) Blue Inc. issued $580,000 of 9%, 10-year bonds on June 30, 2020, for $480,209. This price provided a yield of 12% on the bonds. Interest is payable semiannually on December 31 and June 30.
