Answer:
$2,058.33
Explanation:
bond's face value = $29,000
bond's market value = $21,700
interest rate = 10%
n = 6 x 2 coupons = 12
discount on bonds payable = $29,000 - $21,700 = $7,300
discount amortized per coupon payment = $7,300 / 12 = $608.33
total interest expense = ($29,000 x 10% x 1/2) + $608.33 = $1,450 + $608.33 = $2,058.33
