Answer:

a.$8,400

Explanation:

Amortization of bonds discount = (100000 - 98000)/5years  

                                                     = 2000/5

                                                     = 400

Interest expenses = interst on face value + amortization of bond discount

                             = (100000*8%) + 400  

                             = $8400

Therefore, The bond interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2018, is $8400.
