Unamortized discount is $43,700
Explanation:
Unamortized bond discount=original bond discount-amortization to date
original bond discount is $46,000
Amortization =interest payable-interest expense
interest payable=$400,000*10%*6/12
=$20,000
Interest expense=$354,000*10%*6/12
=$17,700
amortization of discount=$20,000-$17,700
=$2300
unamorized bond discount=$46000-$2300
=$43,700
The unamorized bond discount at the end of the first six months is $43,700

1. the prices of existing bonds would rise
Explanation:
General Interest rates and price of a bond are inversely related. The market interest rate also reflects an investors expected rate of return also referred to as yield to maturity i.e YTM.
Mathematically, price of a bond is the present value of it's future stream of coupon payments as well as principal repayments discounted at investors expected rate of return i.e YTM.
So, when market interest rates fall in general, this would lead to a rise in the price of bonds as general interest rates represent yield to maturity.
