Several years ago Brant, Inc., sold $960,000 in bonds to the public. Annual cash interest of 9 percent ($86,400) was to be paid on this 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 $120,000 of these bonds on the open market for $141,000, a price based on an effective interest rate of 7 percent. The bond liability had a carrying amount on that date of $820,000. Assume Brant uses the equity method to account internally for its investment in Zack.
