    The increase in debt investments is $2,850.63

    Explanation:

    The company would increase its debt investment by the difference between the interest revenue and the coupon payment made by Scott Company.

    The interest revenue is calculated by multiplying the semi-annual effective yield by the carrying value of the investments which is $1,506,375.

    The face value of the bond of $1600,000 is multiplied by the semi-annual coupon rate

    Increase in investment = ($1506375*11%/2) - ($1,600,000*10%/2) = $2,850.63
