On June 30, 2021, Moran Corporation issued $12.5 million of its 12% bonds for $11.4 million. The bonds were priced to yield 14%. The bonds are dated June 30, 2021. Interest is payable semiannually on December 31 and July 1. If the effective interest method is used, by how much should the bond discount be reduced for the six months ended December 31, 2021

the reduction in the bond discount is $48,000

Explanation:

The computation of the reduction in the bond discount is as follow;

= ($11,400,000 × 14% × 1 ÷ 2) - ($12,500,000 × 12% × 1 ÷ 2)

= $798,000 - $750,000

= $48,000

Hence, the reduction in the bond discount is $48,000

Here we considered half as the interest is payable on semi-annual basis

it requires the president to notify congress within 48 hours of sending armed forces to military action.
