Answer:
The correct option is B. $1,012,303
Explanation:
For computing the net amount, the following calculations are need to be done which is shown below:
1. Calculation the total value of bond which equals to
= Issue amount × price
= $1,042,000 × (97 ÷ 100)
= $1,010,740
2. Now compute the discount which shown below:
= Issue amount - total value
= $1,042,000 - $1,010,740
= $31,260
3. Then, compute the semiannual discount amount by applying the straight line method
= Discount value ÷ number of years
where,
number of year would be multiply by 2 = 2 × 10 = 20 years
So, the value would be equal to
= $31,260 ÷ 20 years
= $1,563
4. So, the net amount would be
= Total value of bond + semiannual discount
= $1,010,740 + $1,563
= $1,012,303
Hence, the net amount will be reported for the bonds on the August 31, 2019 balance sheet is $1,012,303
Therefore, the correct option is B. $1,012,303
