    B) $3271.

    Explanation:

    Since Sheridan Company uses the effective interest method to account for Scott Company bonds, and it purchased them on discount, it must increase its debt investments by:

    (market price x effective interest) - (face value x coupon rate) =

    ($1,650,375 x. 055) - ($1,750,000 x. 05) = $3,270.63 ≈ $3,271

    since the bonds pay a semiannual coupon, the yearly interest rates must be divided by 2.
