    b.$12,600

    The bond effective interest expense for the year ended December 31 is $12,600

    Explanation:

    We need to get the computation of the discount value of the bond using the straight-line method first and Interest Earned

    Discount Value = (Face Value - Sales Value) / Years

    D. V = $105,000 - $99,750 / 5

    D. V = $1,050 Per year

    Interest Expenses = Face Value * Bond issued

    =$105,000 * 11%

    =$11,550

    We need to Compute the interest expense of the bond as well

    Bond Interest Expenses = Interest Expense + Discount Value

    =$11,550 + $1,050

    =$12,600

    The bond effective interest expense for the year ended December 31 is $12,600
