    Option (B) is correct.

    Explanation:

    Interest accrued for 6 months (January 1 to July 1):

    = $1,000 * 6% * (6 : 12)

    = $30

    This shall be credited to interest revenue as this is the income of the investor.

    Sale value of investment:

    = Bond selling price on July 1 + Interest accrued for 6 months

    = $1,200 + $30

    = $1,230

    Gain on sale of investment:

    = (Selling price - Purchase price) - Accrued interest

    = ($1,230 - $1,000) - $30

    = $200

    Therefore, the Journal entry for this transaction is as follows:

    Cash A/c Dr. $1,230

    To debt investments $1,000

    To Gain on sale of investment $200

    To Interest revenue $30

    (To record the cash proceeds at the time the bond is sold)
