    The correct option is D

    Explanation:

    Interest expense is to be computed on the bond selling amount or value. So,

    The amount of interest expense would be:

    Interest expense = Sold Value of bond * Rate of Interest

    = $2,197,080 * 11%

    = $241,679

    On December 31, the method of effective interest is used, then the debit entry to the Interest expense amounts to $241,679.
