[Note: The semiannual amounts for (a), (b), and (c) below are the same throughout
the bonds’ life because the company uses straight-line amortization.]
(a) Cash Payment = $3,400,000 x 10% x 6/12 year = $170,000
(b) Discount = $3,400,000 – $3,010,000 = $390,000
Straight–line discount amortization = $390,000 / 20 semiannual periods
= $19,500
(c) Bond interest expense = $170,000 + $19,500 = $189,500
