On January 1, 2018, Ouachita Airlines issued $400,000 of its 20-year, 8% bonds. The bonds were priced to yield 10%. Interest is payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Ouachita Airlines records interest at the effective rate and elected the option to report these bonds at their fair value. On December 31, 2018, the fair value of the bonds was $335,000 as determined by their fair value in the over-the-counter market. None of the change in fair value was due to a change in the general (risk-free) rate of interest.
