Whitten Company was started when it issued bonds with $300,000 face value on January 1, 2016. The bonds were issued for cash at 103. Whitten uses the straight-line method of amortization. They had a 15-year term to maturity and a 6 percent annual interest rate. Interest was payable annually. Whitten immediately purchased land with the proceeds (cash received) from the bond issue. Whitten leased the land for $36,000 cash per year. On January 1, 2019, the company sold the land for $310,000 cash. Immediately after the sale, Whitten repurchased its bonds (repaid the bond liability) at 104. Assume that no other accounting events occurred in 2019.

Required
