Explanation:

Prepare a Bond Amortization Schedule using the data :

Hint : First find the Yield to Maturity

N = 10

PV = $650,000

Pmt = ($650,000 × 11%) ÷ 2 = - $35,750

P/ yr = 2

FV = - $650,000

YTM = ?

Using a Financial Calculator, the YTM is 11.64%.

By the end of September 30, 2021, 8 months` interest will have expired.Thus the amortization schedule should accrue interest for 8 months as follows :

Interest $ 23,833 (debit)

Investment in Bond $ 23,833 (credit)

Interest Calculation = $ 35,750 × 8 / 12

                                 = $ 23,833
