    C) credit to Cash for $80,640.

    Explanation:

    The complete journal entry should be:

    Dr Investments in Bonds (Target Company) account 80,000

    Dr Interest Receivable account 640

    Cr Cash account 80,640

    Since you are purchasing the bonds at 100, it means that your are paying face value = $80,000. Since the bond purchase includes accrued interest, you must also pay for it = $640.
