Record sale of bonds on january and the payment of interest


Problem

Alana Company sold bonds with a face value of $600,000 for $580,000. The bonds have a coupon rate of 10 percent, mature in 10 years, and pay interest semiannually every June 30 and December 31.

All of the bonds were sold on January 1 of this year. Using a discount account, record the sale of the bonds on January 1 and the payment of interest on June 30 of this year. Alana uses the straight-line amortization method.
