Answer #1

Answer is $8,000

Face Value = $2,900,000
Issue Value = $2,820,000

Discount on Bonds = Face Value - Issue Value
Discount on Bonds = $2,900,000 - $2,820,000
Discount on Bonds = $80,000

Time to Maturity = 5 years
Semiannual Period = 10

Semiannual Amortization of Discount = Discount on Bonds / Semiannual Period
Semiannual Amortization of Discount = $80,000 / 10
Semiannual Amortization of Discount = $8,000

So, amount of discount amortized on July 1, 2017 is $8,000
