2017, when the effective interest rate is 8%. These bonds pay interest on January 1 and July 1
each year. They mature on January 1, 2025. At December 31, 2017, the market price of the
bonds is 90.

(to be held to maturity), receipt of cash interest and amortization of the bond investment on July

effective-interest method for amortizing the bond investment.
