Explanation / Answer

Straight line method for amortization:

Discount on bonds payable $7702 ($200000 - $192298)

The term of bonds is 5 years

Semiannual Interest $200000*9%*6 months/12 months = $9000

Semiannual amortization of discount ($7702/10 periods) $770.20

Interest expense for first year: ($9000 + $770.20) × 2 periods = $19540.40

Amortization of discount for first year: $770.20 × 2 periods = $1540.40

Notes: Term of bonds is 5 years. These are semiannual bonds.

Hence, 5 years*2 periods = 10 periods.
