Explanation:

1.

The bonds are assumed to be issued at par value as the market interest rate is not given and is assumed to be the same as the interest rate on bonds of 7%. The issuance of bonds on par is recorded as a debit to the cash received against the bonds and a credit to the bonds payable account.

2.

The semi annual interest payment on bond is,

Bond interest-semi annual = 2100000 * 0.07 * 6/12 = 73500

The interest rate given is the annual interest rate of 7%. That is why we multiply it with 6/12 to get the semi annual interest.

3.

The disposal of bonds will be a reversal of the issuance entry. The bonds payable will be debited by the par value amount and the cash will be credited.
