Balance sheet

debt securities investment   80,000,000

discount on debt securities  (13,795,000)

net amount for the investment 66,205‬,000

Explanation:

As we pay the bonds lower than face value we recognize a discount.

Then, interest reveneu will be carrying value times market rate:

66,000,000  x 10% / 2 = 3,300,000 interest revenue

cash proceeds: 80,000,000 x 8% / 2 = 3,200,000

the difference will amortize the discount.

Then we do it again for the second one:

66,100,000 x 10% / 2 = 3,305,000

difference amortize the discount

We did not adjust for the fair value as we are using another method.

no, a company likes to look at potential employees that are professional, well mannered, clean, honest, etc. don't show up looking/acting like a clown. (unless that's your job xd) hope this ! =^-^=
