Semi Annual interest payment = 275,000 x 10% x 6/12
= $13,750

Present value of principal to be received at the maturity = Par value of bonds x Present value factor (r%, n)

= 275,000 x Present value factor (4.5%, 10)

= 275,000 x 0.64393

= $177,080.75

Present value of interest to be received periodically over the term of the bonds = Interest x Present value annuity factor (r%, n)

= 13,750 x Present value annuity factor (4.5%, 10)

= 13,750 x 7.91272

= $108,799.90

Selling price of bond = Present value of principal to be received at the maturity + Present value of interest to be received periodically over the term of the bonds

= 177,080.75+108,799.9
= $285,881

Date	General Journal	Debit	Credit
June 30, 2019	Interest expense	$12,865
	Premium on bonds payable	$885
	Cash		$13,750

Effective interest rate = 9%

Interest expense to be recorded on June 30, 2019 = Carrying value of bonds x Effective interest rate x 6/12

= 285,881 x 9% x 6/12

= $12,865

Premium on bonds payable to be amortized on June 30, 2019 = Semi annual interest payment - Interest expense to be recorded on June 30, 2019

= 13,750-12,865

= $885

Note: Exact answer may slightly differ due to rounding off and factor value considered
