Answer 1

Answer:

Debit Interest Expense $440.64, Debit Premium on Bonds Payable $159.36 and Credit Cash $600

Explanation:

Amount paid in cash = $10,000 * 6% = $600

Interest expense = $11,016 * 4% = $440.64

Amortization of premium on bonds payable = Amount paid in cash - Interest expense

Amortization of premium on bonds payable = $600  - $440.64

Amortization of premium on bonds payable = $159.36.

Debit Interest Expense $440.64

Debit Premium on Bonds Payable $159.36

Credit Cash $600
