Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

January 1, 2020:

Face value of bonds = $48,000

Price of bonds =           $44,878

Discounts on bonds =    $3,122

Coupon interest rate = 8%

Interest payment = semiannually on June 30 and December 31

Maturity period = 10 years

Effective interest rate = 9%

June 30, 2020:

Interest Expense      $2,020 ($44,878 * 4.5%)

Cash payment             1,920 ($48,000 * 4%)

Discount amortization $100

Value of Bonds =   $44,978 ($44,878 + $100)

December 31, 2020:

Interest Expense      $2,024 ($44,978 * 4.5%)

Cash payment             1,920 ($48,000 * 4%)

Discount amortization $104

Value of Bonds =   $45,082 ($44,978 + $104)

N (# of periods)  20

I/Y (Interest per year)  9

PMT (Periodic Payment)  1920

FV (Future Value)  48000

Results

PV = $44,878.10

Sum of all periodic payments $38,400.00

Total Interest $41,521.90
