Question:

2. Prepare a bond amortization table to show the interest paid, interest expense, amortization of the premium or discount and carrying value of the bond from the issue date until the maturity of the bond. (If you use Word, please show your calculations for each of these amounts for the first five periods. If you use Excel, your Excel cells should show your formulas for each amount.)
3. Assume that, on July 1 2019, Harrison Company retired the bonds at 98. Determine the price paid to retire the bond. What was the gain or loss on the retirement of the bonds?
