Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Face value of 11% bonds issue $930,000

Issue price = $1,009,794

Bonds premium = $79,794

Market yield = 10%

December 31, 2021:

Semi-annual interest payment = $51,150 ($930,000 * 5.5%)

Semi-annual Interest expense = $50,490 ($1,009,794 * 5%)

Amortization of bonds premium = $660

June 30, 2022:

Semi-annual interest payment = $51,150 ($930,000 * 5.5%)

Semi-annual Interest expense = $50,457 ($1,009,134 * 5%)

Amortization of bonds premium = $693
