The interest payment on June 30, Year 2, and the amortization of the bond discount, using the interest method. (Round to the nearest dollar.)

$40,000,000 x 7% = $2,800,000

($37,282,062 x 8%) - ($40,000,000 x 7%) = $2,982,565 - $2,800,000 = $182,565

June 30, Year 2, second coupon payment:

[($37,282,062 + $182,565) x 8%] - $2,800,000 = $2,997,170 - $2,800,000 = $197,170
