Explanation:

First, to journalize the entry record for 1-jul of year 1 we have to calculate the discount on bonds payable as follows:

discount on bonds payable=$74,000,000-$63,532,267=$10,467,733

1. Therefore, journal for entry record for 1-jul of year 1 is:

1-jul year 1                                Debit                           Credit

Cash                                        $63,532,267

discount on bonds payable   $10,467,733

                                                   bonds payable    $74,000,000

To journalize the entry record for 31 decl of year 1 we have to calculate the cash as follows:

Cash=$74,000,000×11%×1/2

Cash=$4,070,000

Therefore, journal for entry record for 31-dec of year 1 is:

31-dec year 1                                Debit                           Credit

Interest expense                      $4,331,693

                                  discount on bonds payable     $261,693

                                                   Cash                          $4,070,000

31-dec year 1                                Debit                           Credit

Income Summary                     $4,331,693

                                  Interest expense                        $4,331,693

To journalize the entry record for 30 jun of year 2 we have to calculate the cash as follows:

Cash=$74,000,000×11%×1/2

Cash=$4,070,000

Therefore, journal for entry record for 30-jun of year 2 is:

30-jun year 2                               Debit                           Credit

Interest expense                      $4,331,693

                                  discount on bonds payable     $261,693

                                                   Cash                          $4,070,000

journal for entry record for 31-dec of year 2 is:

31-dec year 2                               Debit                           Credit

Interest expense                      $4,331,693

                                  discount on bonds payable     $261,693

                                                   Cash                          $4,070,000

31-dec year 2                              Debit                           Credit

Income Summary                     $8,663,386

                                  Interest expense                        $8,663,386

Journal for entry record for 30-jun of year 3 is:

30-jun year 3                                Debit                           Credit

Bond payable                         $74,000,000

Loss on redemption              $7,940,961

                                                   Cash                            $9,420,961

                                          discount on bonds payable $72,520,000

2.

a. The amount of the interest expense in Year 1 is $4,331,693

b. The amount of the interest expense in Year 2= interest expense on bonds payable June 30+interest expense on bonds payable Dec 31=$4,331,693+$4,331,693=$8,663,386

3. The carrying amount of the bonds as of December 31, Year 2=Issue price of bonds-discount amortized

Discount amortized=$9,420,961- $261,693=$9,682,654

The carrying amount of the bonds as of December 31, Year 2=$74,000,000-$9,682,654=$64,317,346
