Question - On January 2, 2015, Bridgeport Corporation issued $1,550,000 of 10% bonds at 98 due December 31, 2024. Interest on the bonds is payable annually each December 31. The discount on the bonds is also being amortized on a straight-line basis over the 10 years. (Straight-line is not materially different in effect from the preferable "interest method.")
