11. A ten-year bond issue of $400,000, interest rate of 9% paid semiannually, is sold for $440,000 when the market rate is 8%. The bonds were not sold between interest dates and the straight-line amortization method is used. The bond interest expense for the first interest payment would be calculated as follows:

1. **Calculate the Semiannual Interest Payment:**
   - Face value of bond = $400,000
   - Semiannual interest rate = 9% / 2 = 4.5%
   - Semiannual interest payment = $400,000 * 4.5% = $18,000

2. **Calculate the Premium Amortization Per Period:**
   - Premium on bonds = $440,000 - $400,000 = $40,000
   - Number of periods (10 years * 2) = 20
   - Premium amortization per period = $40,000 / 20 = $2,000

3. **Calculate Bond Interest Expense:**
   - Bond interest expense = Semiannual interest payment - Premium amortization
   - Bond interest expense = $18,000 - $2,000 = $16,000

Therefore, the bond interest expense for the first interest payment would be $16,000.
