Part 1

Discount  on Investment = Face Value -  Issue Price    
     =400000 - 386808.18  13191.82    
         
No. of semi annual periods = 8 periods (from Jan 1, 2019 to Dec 31, 2022 i.e. 4 yrs)
Discount amortized under straight line method = $13191.82/8 periods = $1,648.978
Interest income received in cash =$400,000*12%*6/12 = $24,000
