    Answer: Eric will report an Interest Income of $1560

    Explanation:

    Interest Rate (r) = 6%

    Marturity Value = 26000

    Interest income for this year

    Interest income (6 months) = 26000 x (0.06/2) = 780

    Interest income for this year = 780 x 2 = 1560

    Eric will report an interest income of $1560 this year.

    Interest Income in the final year (Maturity year)

    Bond Interest Payments are constant each year for up until the Bond Matures. Eric will still earn an interest of $ 1560 in the final year
