Answer:

Option (a) is correct.

Explanation:

Yearly amortization of the bond discount:

= (Amount of bonds issued - Issued for)

= (100,000 - $104,200) ÷ 5

= -$840

Adding this to the cash payment of interest:

= $100,000 × 8%

= $8,000

We get,

= Interest payment + Yearly amortization of the bond premium

= $8,000 + (-$840)

= $7,160

It is the amount of bond interest expense to be recognized in December 31, 2007.
