Step 1

Answer :

Face value of bonds = $2,000,000

Issue price of bonds = $1,851,234

Issue price is less than face value of bonds, that mean bonds are issued at discount .

Total discount on issue of bonds is = $2,000,000 - $1,851,234 = $148,766

 

Cash paid = $2,000,000*5%*6/12 = $50,000

 

Interest expenses =Recorded amount as  Interest expenses is carrying value of bonds * market rate of interest * 6/12 

= $1,851,234 * 6%*6/12

=$55,537

Amortization = Interest - cash paid

= $55,537 - $50,000 = $5,537

Bond carrying value = Opening carrying value + Discount amortized 

= $1,851,234 + $5,537 = $1,856,771
