debt. The bonds were issued at a discount to yield $12$ percent. At the beginning of $2019,$ Zack Corporation $($a wholly owned subsidiary

of Brant$)$ purchased $$110,000$ of these bonds on the open market for $$131,000,$ a price based on an effective interest rate of $6$ percent.

The bond liability had a carrying amount on that date of $$740,000.$ Assume Brant uses the equity method to account internally for its
