Explanation:

We need to get the computation of the discount value of the bond using the straight-line method first and Interest Earned

Discount Value= (Face Value - Sales Value) / Years

D.V= $105,000 - $99,750 / 5

D.V= $1,050 Per year

Interest Expenses= Face Value * Bond issued

=$105,000 * 11%

=$11,550

We need to Compute the interest expense of the bond as well

Bond Interest Expenses = Interest Expense + Discount Value

=$11,550 + $1,050

=$12,600

The bond effective interest expense for the year ended December 31  is $12,600

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
