Hi,

Having a problem figuring out part 5 of this answer:

Fuzzy Monkey Technologies, Inc., purchased as a short-term investment $80 million of 8% bonds, dated January 1, on January 1, 2016. Management intends to include the investment in a short-term, active trading portfolio. For bonds of similar risk and maturity the market yield was 10%. The price paid for the bonds was $66 million. Interest is received semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Due to changing market conditions, the fair value of the bonds at December 31, 2016, was $70 million.

Required:1. to 3. Prepare the relevant journal entries on the respective dates (record the interest at the effective rate). (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select “No journal entry required” in the first account field. Enter your answers in millions rounded to 2 decimal places, (i.e., 5,500,000 should be entered as 5.50).)
