Working Note:
Calculate the amount of total bonds discount.
Par
Issue price of bonds = $3,456,448
Total bonds discount = Par value of bonds−Cash received from issued of bonds=$4,000,000−$3,456,448=$543,552 (1)
Description:
- Cash is an asset and it is increased. So, debit it by $3,456,448.
- Discount on Bonds Payable is an adjunct liability account and it is decreased. So, debit it by $543,552.
- Bonds payable is a liability and it is increased. So, credit it by $4,000,000.

Compute for each semiannual period;
- (a) The cash payment
- (b) The straight-line discount amortization
- (c) The bond interest expense
2.

Explanation of Solution
(a)
Calculate the amount of cash interest paid (semiannually).
Par value of bonds = $4,000,000
Interest rate = 6%
Cash interest=(Par value×Interest rate×Interest time period)=$4,000,000×6100×12=$120,000 (2)
Therefore, the amount of cash interest paid (semiannually) is $120,000.
(b)
Calculate amortization of bond discount per interest payment.
Total bonds discount = $543,552 (1)
Number of semiannual payments = 30 (15 years semiannual payments)
Amortization of bond discount per interest payment = Total bonds discountNumber of semiannual =$543,552 (1)30=$18,118 (3)
Therefore, the amortization of bond discount per interest payment is $18,118.
(c)
Calculate the interest expense on the bond.
Cash interest = $120,000 (2)
Bond discount per interest payment = $18,118 (3)
Interest Expense=Cash Interest +Semiannual discounton bonds payable=$120,000+$18,118=$138,118
Therefore, the amount of interest expense on the bond is $138,118.

Calculate the total bond interest expense that will be recognized over the life of the bonds.
3.

Explanation of Solution
Calculate the total bond interest expense.
Details | Amount ($) |
Total interest payments for 15 years (30 Semiannual payments) | 3,600,000 (4) |
Add: Discounts | 543,552 (1) |
Total bond interest expense | 4,143,552 |
Table (2)
Working Note:
Calculate the total interest payments for 15 years (semi-annually).
Total interest payments for15 years (semi-annually)] = (Par value × Interest rate × 12) × 30= ($4,000,000 × 6% × 12) × 30= $120,000 ×30= $3,600,000 (4)
Therefore the total interest payment for 15 years (semi-annually) is $4,143,552.
