    a.$8,400

    Explanation:

    Amortization of bonds discount = (100000 - 98000) / 5years

    = 2000/5

    = 400

    Interest expenses = interst on face value + amortization of bond discount

    = (100000*8%) + 400

    = $8400

    Therefore, The bond interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2018, is $8400.
