For bonds of similar risk and maturity the market yield was 9%. Interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Federal determines interest at the effective rate.

On December 31, 2018, the fair value of the bonds was $760 million as determined by their market value in the over-the-counter market. Assume the fair value of the bonds on December 31, 2019 had risen to $766 million. Required: Complete the below table to record the following journal entries. 1. & 2.
