Answer:
D. $30,000
Explanation:
The bond is issued on discount when the issuance price is less than the face value of the bond. The discount is expensed over the bond period until maturity. It is added to the interest expense value to expense it.
This discount will be amortized using Effective Interest method as below
Interest Payment = $5,000,000 x 8% x 6/12 = $200,000
Interest Expense = $4,600,000 x 10% x 6/12 = $230,000
Discount amortization = $230,000 - $200,000 = $30,000
