Explanation:

August 1, 2019

As the Bond was issued on August 1, 2019, So the first entry will be made at the issuance

Issuance of Bond = Total authorized x 3/4 = $800,000 x 3/4 = $600,000

Cash receipt = Face value + Premium on Bond = $600,000 + $25,400 = $625,400

August 31, 2019

As interest is paid on this date.

Interst payment = Face value x Coupon rate = $600,000 x 6% x 6/12 = $18,000

Amortization of Bond Premium ( Straight line ) = Premium on Bond / ( Years to maturity x Coupon payment period per year ) = $25,400 / ( 12 years x 2 periods per year ) = $1,058.33

September 30, 2019

On this date interest of one month is accrued which needs to be recorded.

Interest payable = 600,000 x 6% x 1/12 = $3,000

Amortization of Bond Premium ( Straight line ) = ( 25,400 / 24 ) / 6 = $176.39
