Required:
1. Prepare a journal entry to record Watney's receipt of six months of interest revenue.
2. Prepare a journal entry (if any is required) to record any unrealized gains or losses on the Hamel bonds during 2013. (Only consider ordinary accounting for unrealized gains or losses. Do not consider whether an impairment should be recorded.)
