Working note:

Debt investment:

Debt investments refer to the investments made in debt instrument by the investor at a predetermined interest and maturity period. Examples of debt investments are corporate bonds, government bonds, certificate of deposits.

Ascertain the amount of interest revenue accrued at December 31 as follows:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Interest revenue accrue}=\left[\begin{array}{l}\text{Purchase value of bond}\\ \times \text{Interest rate of bond}\\ \times \text{Interest period}\end{array}\right]\\ =\$30,000\times \frac{\text{5}}{\text{100}}\times \frac{\text{5}}{\text{12}}\\ =\$625\end{array}$

From the above Calculation it is clear that option (a), (b), (c) and (e) are incorrect, only option (d) is correct.

Conclusion

Hence the correct option is option c.
