    Option C is correct one.

    Interest expense 773

    Discount on bonds payable 73

    Cash 700

    Explanation:

    2016 interest expense = initial issue price, which is the 1/1/2014 book value x the market (effective) interest rate

    = $9,668 x 08

    = $773

    Cash interest payment

    = maturity value of the bond x the stated interest rate = $10,000 x. 07

    = $700

    Amortization of discount on bonds payable

    = interest expense - interest cash payment

    = $773 - $700.

    = $73
