Explanation:

We solve for the book value at year-end using effective rate

First year:

First payment

830,000,000 x 5.5% = 45,650,000

767,557,868  x 6.0% = 46,053,472.08

Amortization              403,472.08

Second Payment

830,000,000 x 5.5% =                         45,650,000

(767,557,868 + 403,472.08)  x 6.0% = 46,077,680.4

Amortization               427680.4

Carrying value at year-end

767,557,868 + 403,472.08 + 427,680.40 = 768,389,020.48

We need to recognize a deferred gain for the difference between these and the 750,000,000 market value at December 31th

which is $ 18,383,020.48 as these as not been realized it will be part of other comprehensive income

We will increase the discount to adjust the bonds payable account net balance.

Second year:

We repeat the process

First Payment:

830,000,000 x 5.5% = 45,650,000

Interest expense 750,000,000 x 6% = 45,000,000

Amortization  650000

Carrying value 750,000,000 + 650,000 = 750,650,000

Second Payment:

830,000,000 x 5.5% = 45,650,000

750,650,000 x 6% = 45,039,000

Amortization 611000

Carrying Value 750,650,000 + 611,000 = 751,261,000

Wer now compare this with the 756,000,000

as now the debt of the company has increased we are going to decrease the discounttand recognize a deferred loss through other comprehensive income as it wasn't realized

756,000,000 - 751,261,000 = 4.739.000‬
