1.- thwe cash payment are the same for each period as the coupon bond rate is fixed:

2,600,000 face value x 5% coupon rate / 2 payment per year = 65,000

On the last payment, we are going to calculate 65,000 + face value

2,600,000 + 65,000 = 2,665,000

2.- amortization per period 19,513

3.- interest expense per period 45,487

4.- 45,487 interest expense per period x 30 payment dates =  1,364,610

cash    3,182,390  debit

   bonds payable   2,600,000 credit

   premium on BP     585,390 credit

-- to record issuance --

interest expense 45,487 debit

premium on BP    19,513 debit

    cash                                  65,000 credit

-- entry for each payment date--

Explanation:

proceeds: 3,182,390

face value: 2,600,000

premium:       585,390

amortization per period:

585,390 / 30 payment = 19,513

This will be the amortization on the premium on bonds payable for each payment

3.- as the amortization is fixed under straight-line method the interest expense is also fixed:

65,000 cash proceeds - 19,513 amortization = 45,487 interest expense

the answer is 10c + 6b = 32
