i will first record the issuance of the bonds:

June 1, 2020, bonds issued at a discount + accrued interests

Dr Cash 3,986,667

Dr Discount on bonds payable 78,667

Dr Interest expense 1,333

    Cr Bonds payable 4,000,000

    Cr Interest payable 66,667

Accrued interests = $4,000,000 x 10% x 2/12 = $66,667

bond discount = $4,000,000 x 2% = $80,000

amortization per coupon payment = $80,000 / 20 = $4,000

allocated amortization to this issuance = $4,000 x 2/6 = $1,333

a) October 1, 2020, first coupon payment

Dr Interest expense 130,666

the carrying value of the bonds = $3,928,000, which represents 98.2% of face value

$1,500,000 x 98.2% = $1,473,000

discount on bonds payable = $1,500,000 - $1,473,000 = $27,000
