    1) Debit Bank $11787069 Debit bond discount $912931; Credit Bond $12700000

    2) Debit Interest expense $751293; Credit Bank $660,000 Credit Discount on Bond payable $91293

    3) Debit interest expense $ 751293; Credit bank 660000, Credit discount on bond payable $91293

    b) Interest expense = $1502586

    c) It is because a financial crisis might have happened prior to issuing the bond and the company still went ahead with issuing even though the rate has changed.

    Explanation:

    interest expense = 12000000 * 0.11 * 6/12=$660000

    discount on bond payable = $912931 / 5 = 182586 / 2 = 91293

    Interest expense = $751293 * 2 = $1502586
