Answer and Explanation:
The journal entry are as follows
1. Interest expense $214,650
To Cash $214,650
(Being the first interest payment is recorded)
The computation is shown below
= $4,770,000 × 9% × 6 months ÷ 12 months
= $214,650
For recording this we debited the interest expense as it increased the expenses while on the other hand the cash is paid which reduced the cash balance so it is credited
2. Cash $530,000
To Bond payable $530,000
(Being the cash sale of bond is recorded)
For recording this we debited the cash as cash is received that increased the cash balance and at the same time we credited the bond payable
