4. The amount that Federal will report for the bonds among its liabilities in the December 31, 2021, balance sheet is $740,615,924

Explanation:

1. Discount on bonds payable = $800 million - $739,814,813 = $60,185,187

2. Cash paid = Face value × stated interest × interest time period

= $800,000,000 × 11% × 0.5

= $44,000,000

Interest expense = price of bonds × market interest rate × interest time period

= $739,814,813 × 12% × 0.5

= $44,388,889

Discount on bonds payable = $44,388,889 - $44,000,000 = $388,889

3. Cash paid = Face value × stated interest × interest time period

= $800,000,000 × 11% × 0.5

= $44,000,000

Interest expense = price of bonds × market interest rate × interest time period

= ($739,814,813 + $388,889) × 12% × 0.5

= $ 44,412,222

Discount on bonds payable = $44,412,222 - $44,000,000 = $412,222

4.  Long term liabilities = Bonds payable + Discount on bonds payable June 30 + Discount on bonds payable December 31

=  $739,814,813 + $388,889 + $412,222

= $740,615,924
