    C. $13000

    Explanation:

    Face Value 900000

    Interest Rate 10%

    Half Yearly Interest Rate 5%

    900000 * 5% = 45,000

    Amortization = (900000 - 820000) * 2 months / 80 months = 2,000

    Accrued Interest = 34,000

    Amount reported in Blossom 2021 Income Statement

    = Total Interest + Amortization - Accrued Interest

    45,000 + 2,000 - 34,000

    = $13,000
