Step-by-Step Solution

Answer

1. (a) $600,000
   (b) $552,000
   (c) $18,000
   (d) $21,000
2. Interest expenses debited by $21,000. The cash and discount on bonds payable credited by $18,000 and $3,000.

The semi-annual interest expense is $18,000.

Step 1: Maturity value of the bonds 1(a)

The maturity value of the bonds is $600,000.

Step 2: Carrying amount of the bonds 1(b)

The carrying amount of the bonds is $552,000.

Step 3: Semi-annual interest payment 1(c)

$\begin{array}{rcl}Semi-Annual Interest& =& \frac{Face Value\times Interest rate\times time Preiod}{12}\\ & =& \frac{\$600,000\times 6\%\times 6}{12}\\ & =& \$18,000\end{array}$

Step 4: Interest expense record each year 1(d)

$\begin{array}{rcl}\mathit{D}\mathit{i}\mathit{s}\mathit{c}\mathit{o}\mathit{u}\mathit{n}\mathit{t}\mathbf{ }\mathit{o}\mathit{n}\mathbf{ }\mathit{B}\mathit{o}\mathit{n}\mathit{d}\mathit{s}\mathbf{ }\mathit{P}\mathit{a}\mathit{y}\mathit{a}\mathit{b}\mathit{l}\mathit{e}& \mathbf{=}& \mathit{P}\mathit{a}\mathit{r}\mathbf{ }\mathit{V}\mathit{a}\mathit{l}\mathit{u}\mathit{e}\mathbf{ }\mathbf{(}\mathbf{1}\mathbf{-}\mathit{B}\mathit{o}\mathit{n}\mathit{d}\mathit{s}\mathbf{ }\mathit{I}\mathit{s}\mathit{s}\mathit{u}\mathit{e}\mathit{d}\mathbf{)}\\ & \mathbf{=}& \mathbf{\$}\mathbf{600}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{000}\mathbf{ }\mathbf{(}\mathbf{1}\mathbf{-}\mathbf{0}\mathbf{.}\mathbf{90}\mathbf{)}\\ & \mathbf{=}& \mathbf{\$}\mathbf{60}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{000}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}\mathit{S}\mathit{e}\mathit{m}\mathit{i}\mathbf{-}\mathit{a}\mathit{n}\mathit{n}\mathit{u}\mathit{a}\mathit{l}\mathbf{ }\mathit{D}\mathit{i}\mathit{s}\mathit{c}\mathit{o}\mathit{u}\mathit{n}\mathit{t}\mathbf{ }\mathit{A}\mathit{m}\mathit{o}\mathit{r}\mathit{t}\mathit{i}\mathit{z}\mathit{a}\mathit{t}\mathit{i}\mathit{o}\mathit{n}& \mathbf{=}& \frac{\mathbf{T}\mathbf{o}\mathbf{t}\mathbf{a}\mathbf{l}\mathbf{ }\mathbf{D}\mathbf{i}\mathbf{s}\mathbf{o}\mathbf{u}\mathbf{n}\mathbf{t}}{\mathbf{M}\mathbf{a}\mathbf{t}\mathbf{u}\mathbf{r}\mathbf{i}\mathbf{t}\mathbf{y}\mathbf{ }\mathbf{P}\mathbf{e}\mathbf{r}\mathbf{i}\mathbf{o}\mathbf{d}}\mathbf{\times }\frac{\mathbf{6}}{\mathbf{12}}\\ & \mathbf{=}& \frac{\mathbf{\$}\mathbf{60}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{000}}{\mathbf{10}}\mathbf{\times }\frac{\mathbf{6}}{\mathbf{12}}\\ & \mathbf{=}& \mathbf{\$}\mathbf{3}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{000}\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}\mathit{T}\mathit{o}\mathit{t}\mathit{a}\mathit{l}\mathbf{ }\mathit{I}\mathit{n}\mathit{t}\mathit{e}\mathit{r}\mathit{e}\mathit{s}\mathit{t}\mathbf{ }\mathit{E}\mathit{x}\mathit{p}\mathit{e}\mathit{n}\mathit{s}\mathit{e}\mathit{s}& \mathbf{=}& \mathit{C}\mathit{o}\mathit{u}\mathit{p}\mathit{o}\mathit{n}\mathbf{ }\mathit{A}\mathit{m}\mathit{o}\mathit{u}\mathit{n}\mathit{t}\mathbf{+}\mathit{D}\mathit{i}\mathit{s}\mathit{c}\mathit{o}\mathit{u}\mathit{n}\mathit{t}\mathbf{ }\mathit{o}\mathit{n}\mathbf{ }\mathit{B}\mathit{o}\mathit{n}\mathit{d}\mathit{s}\mathbf{ }\mathit{P}\mathit{a}\mathit{y}\mathit{a}\mathit{b}\mathit{l}\mathit{e}\\ & \mathbf{=}& \mathbf{\$}\mathbf{18}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{000}\mathbf{+}\mathbf{\$}\mathbf{3}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{000}\\ & \mathbf{=}& \mathbf{\$}\mathbf{21}\mathbf{,}\mathbf{000}\end{array}$

The company has to record $21,000 as an interest expense.
