    The amount to record as the cost of this long-term investment in bonds is $771,500

    Explanation:

    The computation of long term investment in bonds is shown below:

    = (Face value * cost of bond) + brokerage cost

    = ($750,000 * 1.01) + $14,000

    = $757,500 + $14,000

    = $771,500

    The accrued interest should not be included in the computation of long term investment because it is not a received cost, it is earned but actually it is not received. Hence, this accrued interest would not be considered in the computation part.

    Thus, The amount to record as the cost of this long-term investment in bonds is $771,500
