Answer:
$229,500
Explanation:
Calculation for unamortized bond discount to be reported
First step is to calculate the bonds amount
Bond s=($3,755,000 × .10) - ($4,000,000 × .09)
Bonds=$375,500-$360,000
Bondsman = $15,500
Last step is to calculate the unamortized bond discount
Unamortized bond discount=($4,000,000 - $3,755,000) - $15,500
Unamortized bond discount=$245,000-$15,500
Unamortized bond discount= $229,500
Therefore Patterson should report unamortized bond discount of $229,500
