Answer: Please see Explanation for answer.

Explanation:

January 01, 2021:

Cash Debit 44,221

Bonds Payable Credit 44,221

Since the bonds were sold at a discount, the entry to record the first interest payment (using straight line amortization of the premium) would be:

Interest expense ($44,221× 6% × 6months/12months ) = $1,326.63 =$1,327

Cash is given as ($50,000 × 5% ×6months /12months) = $1,250

June 30, 2021:

Interest Expense Debit---$1,326.63 Bonds Payable Credit $77

Cash Credit $1,250

∴ ($5000 - ($2000) = $3000

The amortization is $544

($49,000/180) × 2 months

= $544

The total amount she may deduct = $3000 + $544 = $3544.

Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Interest expense = $20,000

Explanation:

<em>Loan Amortization: A loan repayment method structured such that a series of equal periodic installments will be paid for certain number of periods to offset both the loan principal amount and the accrued interest.  </em>

The annual installment is computed as follows:  

Annual installment= Loan amount/annuity factor  

Annual installment is already given as = 37,258 (already given)

Interest payment = interest rate × Loan balance at the beginning of the year

DATA

Interest rate = 8%

Loan balance at the beginning of the year = $250,000

Interest expense = 8%× 250,000 = $20000

Principal paid = Annual installment - Interest = 37,258-20,000 = 17,258 <em>(this  is not required but to explain the concept)</em>

Interest expense = $20,000
