Explanation / Answer

a)

Dr Investments-Medina City Bonds $240,000

Dr Interest Receivable $3,600

Cr Cash $243,600

b)

Dr Cash $ 7,200

Cr Interest Receivable $3,600

Cr Interest revenue $3,600

Interest = $240,000 * 6% * 1/2 = $7,200

c)

Dr Cash $118,200

Dr Loss on Sale of Investments $2,400

Cr Intrest Revenue $600

Cr Investments-Medina City Bonds $120,000

*Sales Proceeds = $120,000 *98% = $117,600

+ Interest = $600

Cash Received = $118,200
