Journal Entry

01 July Debit Investment $240 million Credit Bank $200 million Credit Discount on investment $40 million

31 Dec Debit Bank $7,2 Million Debit Discount on Bond $0.8 million Credit Interest Income $8 million

Debit Fair Value loss on investment $30 million Credit Investment $30 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Interest is received semiannually

6%/2 = 3%

interest = $240 million * 3% =7,200,000

8%/2 = 4%

Interest market $200 million * 4% =8,000,000

Fair value loss = 240 million - 210 million

= 30 million loss because cost is greater than fair value
