    Find below missing part of the question:

    Jessie Co issued $2 million face amount of 7%,20 years bonds on 1 April 2019. The bonds pay interest on semiannual basis on 30 September and 31 March each year.

    $67,950.00

    Explanation:

    Interest expense=semiannual coupon-semiannual premium amortization

    semiannual coupon = face value*coupon rate

    face value is $2 million

    coupon rate is 7%

    semiannual coupon = $2,000,000*7%*6/12=$ 70,000.00

    semiannual premium amortization=premium/years to maturity*2

    premium is $82,000

    years to maturity is 20

    semiannual premium amortization=$82,000 / (20*2) = $2050

    interest expense=$70,000-$2,050=$67,950.00
