Explanation:

The interest expense for the period ended 30 June Year 1 is the cash proceeds multiplied by the market interest rate for six months i.e 12%/2=6%

interest expense=$95,083*6%=$5,705

Coupon payment for the six-month ended 30 June Year is the face value of the bonds ($100,000) multiplied by the coupon rate for six months i.e 10%/2=5%

coupon payment=$100,000*5%=$5,000

Amortization of discount on bonds payable=interest expense-coupon=$5,705-$5,000=$705
