    Issuance of bond

    DR Bank 612,000.00

    CR Bond 612,000.00

    Payment of interest (1 july)

    CR Cash 29,897.73

    DR Interest expense 29,897.73

    Accrued Interest

    CR Interest Accrual 29,897.73

    DR Interest expense 29,897.73

    Explanation:

    It is noteworthy that the amount realized from the issue of the bond is not $600000 but $612000 since it was sold at a premium of $2, to calculate that, multiply $600000 by $102 and divide both by $100 the par value per bond.

    Also that the interest is calculated using 9.7705%, the effective interest not the coupon rate of 10% and it is prorated by multiplying by 6 months divided by 12 months since each interest payment is for six month period.
