    Answer and Explanation:

    According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follow:-

    Interest paid semiannually on July 31, and Jan 31,

    so the rate of interest is : - 9% * 6:12 = 4.5% and 8% * 6:12 = 4%

    Date Interest Paid interest 4% Amortized Carrying value

    expenses 4.50% discount amount

    February, 1 $735,474

    July, 31 $33,096 - $32,400 $696 $736,170

    Jan. 31 $33,128 - $32,400 $728 $736,898

    Working note =

    Paid interest = $810,000 * 4:100 = 32,400

    Interest expenses in July, 31 = $735,474 * 4.5 : 100

    = 33,096.33 or $33,096

    Interest expenses in January, 31 = $736,170 * 4.5:100

    = 33,127.65 or $33,128

    Carrying Value = Previous Carrying Value + Amortized Discount Amount

    July, 31

    = $735,474 + $696

    = $736,170

    Jan, 31 = $736,170 + $728 = $736,898
