    a) Prepare the journal entry to record interest at the effective interest rate at December 31.

    - Interest expense (10% * 1/2 * $380) = $19.0

    -Cash (paid to bondholders) (9% * 1/2 * $400) = $18.0

    - Discount on Bond Payable 19.0 - 18.0 = 1

    Interest expense 19

    Discount on Bond Payable 1

    Cash 18

    What would be the amount (s) related to the bonds that Agee would report in its statement of cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018, if it uses the direct method?

    -Agee would report the cash inflow of $380 million from the sale of the bonds as a cash inflow from Financing Activities in its statement of cash flows. (selling bonds is a financing activity)

    -The $18.0 million cash interest paid is cash outflow from Operating Activities because Interest is an Income Statement (Operating) item.
