b) On April 1, 2017, Glimmer Twins Corp. issued $1,000,000 of 6% bonds with a 10-year maturity at par. The bonds pay interest annually on April 1 of each year. The company’s fiscal year ends Dec. 31. What amount or amounts would the company report on the Dec. 31 income statement and balance sheet for these bonds?
