    a) 1/1/20 Cash $477,360

    Bonds payable $468,000

    Premium on Bonds payable $9,360

    b) 7/1/20 Interest expense $23,320

    Premium on Bonds payable $80

    Cash $23,400

    c) 12/31/20 Interest expense $23,315

    Premium on Bonds payable $85

    Interest payable $23,400

    Explanation:

    In order to prepare the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds, we first have to calculate the cash, as follows:

    Cash=$468,000*1.02=$477,360

    Hence, the journal entry to record the issuance of the bonds would be as follows:

    1/1/20 Cash $477,360

    Bonds payable $468,000

    Premium on Bonds payable $9,360

    In order to prepare the journal entry to record the payment of interest and related amortization on July 1, 2020, we would have to calculate the interest expense and cash as follows:

    Interest expense=$477,360*9.7705%/2=$23,320

    Cash=$468,000*10%/2=$23,400

    7/1/20 Interest expense $23,320

    Premium on Bonds payable $80

    Cash $23,400

    In order to prepare the journal entry to record the accrual of interest and the related amortization on December 31, 2020., we would have to calculate the interest expense and interest payable as follows:

    Interest expense = ($477,360-102) * 9.7705%/2 = $23,315

    Interest payable=$468,000*10%/2=$23,400

    12/31/20 Interest expense $23,315

    Premium on Bonds payable $85

    Interest payable $23,400
