Answer #1
See, since the market rate of interest is not given in the question, we can't use effective interest rate method for amortization of Bond Discount.
Bond Discount is to be amortized using straight line method.
Bond Discount = $5,500,000 - $4,826,906 = $673,094
Tenure of the Bond = 6 years
No. of 6 month periods = 6 x 2 = 12 periods.
Discount amortization for every 6 months = $673,094 
12 = $56,091.167 = $56,091
The journal entry would be as follows:
