Expert Solution

Issue value of the Bonds = Face value of the Bonds x Issue price / 100

= $400,000 x 104.265/100

= $417,060

Interest expense on September 1, 2019 = Issue value of the Bonds x market rate of interest x No. of months / 12

= $417,060 x 6% x 6/12

= $12,512

Option D. $12,512 is the correct answer.
