Interest is computed by: 400,000 * 10% = 40,000 per annum
40,000 / 2 = 20,000 per semi-annual. Every Dec. 31 and June 30

400,000 - 385,000 = 15,000 discount
15,000 discount + 1,500 debt issue cost = 16,500
16,500 * 10% = 1,650 amortization per annum
1,650 / 2 = 825 amortization per semi-annual

Bonds payable total = 383,500 + 825 + 825 = 385,150
Loss on early extinguishment = 395,000 - 385,150 = 9,850
