The answer is option a. Reason:
When interest income is accrued, the nterest receivable is debited as it is an asset. The corresponding credit is done to interest income (or revenue) account.
Here, the bonds are purchased for $1,050 but the face value of these bonds is $1,000. So, the interest shall be calculated on the face value of the bonds.
Interest = $1,000 × 12% = $120.
