    Interest Expense $16,800

    To Cash $16.800

    (Being the interest payment is recorded)

    Explanation:

    The journal entry to record semiannual interest payment is shown below:

    Interest Expense $16,800

    To Cash $16.800

    (Being the interest payment is recorded)

    For computing this we debited the interest expense as it increased the expenses and credited the cash as it decreased the assets

    The computation is shown below:

    = Par value * rate of interest * number of months : total number of months

    = $480,000 * 7% * 6 months : 12 months

    = $16,800

    Since it is semi annual so we take the 6 months
