Answer:

Dr cash $420,000

Cr bonds payable $400,000

Cr premium on bonds payable $20,000

Dr interest expense($40000-$2,000) $38,000

Dr premium on bonds payable $2,000

Cr cash $40,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The bond price is the pv of all cash inflows promised by the bond which includes annual coupon and repayment of face value at redemption:

bond price=face value *105%

bond price=$400,000*105%=$420000

The cash proceeds from the issue would be debited to cash while bonds payable is credited with $400,000 and premium on bonds payable is credited with $20,000.

amortization of premium=$20,000/10=$2,000

interest payment=10%*$400,000=$40,000
