The bonds pay 7 percent interest each June 30 and December 31 and mature in three years. Starbucks plans to hold the bonds until maturity.

Required:

1. What accounts are affected when the bonds are purchased on July 1 of the current year? (Select "NE" if there is no effect.)

2. What accounts are affected when interest is received on December 31 of the current year? (Select "NE" if there is no effect.)

3. Should Starbucks prepare a journal entry if the fair value of the bonds decreased to $6,000,000 on December 31 of the current year? (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)
