Ans)
1) June 30 2018 Interest expense (816 X 6%) 48,960,000
Discount on bonds payable 4,960,000
Cash (880 X 5%) 44,000,000
2) Dec 31, 2018 Interest expense 49257600
Discount on bonds payable 5257600
Cash 44,000,000
Interest expense = (816 + 4.96) X 6% = 49.2576
Cash = 880 X 5% = 44 m

Fair value adjustment 5782400
The interest entries increased the bond value from 816,000,000 to 826,217,600 (816m + 4960000 + 5257600)
