Par value of bonds = $10,000
Cash receipts from issue of bonds = $9,080
Discount on bonds payable = Par value of bonds - Cash receipts from issue of bonds
= 10,000 - 9,080
= $920
Semi annual amortization of bond discount = Discount on bonds payable/Semi annual interest payment periods
9 = 920/Semi annual interest payment periods
Semi annual interest payment periods = 102
Semi annual interest payment = $400
Total interest payment = Semi annual interest payment periods x Semi annual interest payment
= 102 x 400
= $40,800
Total interest expense = Total interest payment during the lifetime of bonds + Discount on bonds payable
= 40,800 + 920
= $41,720
