$461,820

Explanation:

Calculation to determine What amount should Weaver report on its December 31, 2016, balance sheet as an investment in held-to-maturity debt securities

First step

Amortization of discount= Purchased value of bond × interest rate of return - face value of bond × interest rate

Amortization of discount= $456,200 × 10% - $500,000 × 8%

Amortization of discount= $45,620 - $40,000

Amortization of discount= $5,620

Now the amount reported is

investment in held-to-maturity debt securities= Purchased value + discount amortization

investment in held-to-maturity debt securities= $456,200 + $5,620

investment in held-to-maturity debt securities= $461,820

Therefore What amount should Weaver report on its December 31, 2016, balance sheet as an investment in held-to-maturity debt securities is $461,820
