discount on bonds 23,661
bonds payable 660,000
--to record issuance--
interest expense 15908
discount on bonds 2708

--to record first payment--
the attached image isthe amortization schedule
Step-by-step explanation:
we will first calculate the present value of the cuopon payment and maturity at the market rate:
C 13,200
time 8
rate 0.025
PV $94,645.8106
Maturity 660,000.00
time 8.00
rate 0.025
PV 541,692.74
PV c $94,645.8106
PV m $541,692.7367
Total $636,338.5473
method on effective rate:
carrying value x market rate = interest expense
bonds face value x bond rate = cash procceds
difference: amortization
the amortization as this is discount will increase the carrying value of the bond after each payment
