Record the interest expenses and amortization for bonds payable.

Bond face value = $273000
Bond issue price = $273000 * 103 / 100 = $281190
Bond premium = Bond issue price - Bond face value
Bond premium = $281190 - $273000 = $8190
Under the straight line method, bond premium is amortized over the life of the bond. Here,
Bond premium = $8190, Life of the bond = 5 * 2 = 10 semi annual years
Straight line amortization of bond premium = $8190 / 10 = $819
Semi annual cash payment of interest = 5% * $273000 * 6 /12 = $6825
Interest expense under straight line method is:
Interest expense = Cash paid for interest – Premium amortization
Interest expense = $6825 - $819 = $6006
