a) Data and Calculations:

Current liabilities

Interest payable $ 46,500

Long-term liabilities Bonds payable (9%, due January 1, 2020) $565,000

Interest payment date = January 1

Face value of bonds called = $160,000

Call price = 107

Bond redemption expense = ($160,000 * 107/100) - $160,000 = $11,200

Interest expense for 2017:

= ($565,000 - $160,000) * 9% = $36,450
