    b. $461,820

    Explanation:

    The computation of the amount reported in the balance sheet is shown below:

    But before that we need to find out the amortization of discount which is

    = Purchased value of bond * interest rate of return - face value of bond * interest rate

    = $456,200 * 10% - $500,000 * 8%

    = $45,620 - $40,000

    = $5,620

    Now the amount reported is

    = Purchased value + discount amortization

    = $456,200 + $5,620

    = $461,820

    Hence, the option b is correct
