(40 points) Carrol Inc., a calendar year-end company, has the following information available with respect to an investment it classifies as an available-for-sale security.

On November 1, 2018 (11/1/18), Carrol Inc. purchased 15-year bonds with a total face value of $200,000 and a face interest rate of 5% compounded semi-annually. The bonds were purchased for $180,400 to yield an effective rate of 6% compounded semi-annually. Interest is received semi-annually on November 1st and May 1st beginning May 1, 2019.

On 12/31/18, Carrol accrues interest revenue on these bonds using the effective-interest method.

On 12/31/18, the bonds are worth $184,000. There have been no previous fair market adjustments for AFS securities.

On 5/1/19, the company receives their first interest payment from the available-for-sale security.
