a)1/1/20Cash$477,360

Bonds payable $468,000

Premium on Bonds payable $9,360

b)7/1/20Interest expense $23,320

Premium on Bonds payable $80

Cash $23,400

c)12/31/20Interest expense$23,315

Premium on Bonds payable$85

Interest payable $23,400

Explanation:

In order to prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds, we first have to calculate the cash, as follows:

Cash=$468,000×1.02=$477,360

Hence, the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds would be as follows:

1/1/20Cash$477,360

Bonds payable $468,000

Premium on Bonds payable $9,360

In order to prepare the journal entry to record the payment of interest and related amortization on July 1, 2020, we would have to calculate the interest expense and cash as follows:

Interest expense=$477,360×9.7705%/2=$23,320

Cash=$468,000*10%/2=$23,400

7/1/20Interest expense $23,320

Premium on Bonds payable $80

Cash $23,400

In order to prepare the journal entry to record the accrual of interest and the related amortization on December 31, 2020. , we would have to calculate the interest expense and interest payable as follows:

Interest expense=($477,360-102)×9.7705%/2 =$23,315

Interest payable=$468,000*10%/2=$23,400

12/31/20Interest expense$23,315

Premium on Bonds payable$85

Interest payable $23,400
