    D. the semiannual interest payment amount is $24000

    Explanation:

    Debt securities are recorded on the purchase price of the securities which includes purchase price and any brokerage costs etc. Cost recorded and maturity value of this security will be $300,000 because these are issued on par and will mature on par value. The semiannual interest payment will be $12,000 ($300,000 x (8% / 2)) rather than $24,000. Interest revenue will also be credited to the interest revenue account. So the only incorrect option is D. the semiannual interest payment amount is $24000.
