    d) $2,616

    Explanation:

    The bonds were issued for a discount of $ 26,160 i. e Face value $ 872,000 minus Issued value $ 845,840.

    The period of the bonds is 5 years and the company amortizes the discount on a straight line basis which means that it amortizes over the period of the bond i. s 5 years = 60 months.

    So for six months it shall be 10 % of the total discount i. e $ 2,616.
