    1 January 2021 Cash $420,000 Dr

    Bonds Payable $420,000 Cr

    30 June 2021 Interest expense $12600 Dr

    Cash $12600 Cr

    31 December 2021 Interest expense $12600 Dr

    Cash $12600 Cr

    Explanation:

    The bonds will be issued at par as the coupon rate on bonds is equal to the market interest rate. Thus, cash will be received equal to the par value of bonds and the bonds payable will be credited.

    The bonds make semi annual coupon payment. The semi annual coupon payment = 420000 * 0.06 * 6/12 = $12600

    The interest/coupon will be recorded as an expense and the as it it paid on the same day, cash will be credited.
