Opus, Incorporated, owns 90 percent of Bloom Company. On December 31, 2013, Opus acquires half of Bloom's $620,000 outstanding bonds. These bonds had been sold on the open market on January 1, 2011, at a 12 percent effective rate. The bonds pay a cash interest rate of 10 percent every December 31 and are scheduled to come due on December 31, 2021. Bloom issued this debt originally for $546,373. Opus paid $345,629 for this investment, indicating an 8 percent effective yield.
