Step by step solution

Entry for the issue of bond

Date	Particulars	Debit	Credit
January 1, 2018	Cash	$103,400
	Discount on bond	$6,600
	11% Bonds Payable		$110,000
	(Being Entry of the issue of bonds)

Calculation of cash received on issue of bond and discount on bond:

$\begin{matrix} Issue Price = Par Value \times \frac{$ 94}{100} \\ = $ 110, 000 \times \frac{$ 94}{100} \\ = $ 103, 400 \end{matrix}$

$\begin{matrix} Discount on Bonds Payable = Par Value - Issue Price \\ = $ 110, 000 - $ 103, 400 \\ = $ 6, 600 \end{matrix}$

Journal entry for the interest expense

Date	Particulars	Debit	Credit
July 1, 2018	Interest Expense	$6,050
	Discount on Bonds Payable	$330
	Cash		$6,380
	(To record the payment of interest)

Calculation of interest expense:

$\begin{matrix} Coupon Amount = Par Value \times Coupon Rate \times Time Period \\ = $ 110, 000 \times 11 % \times \frac{6}{12} \\ = $ 6, 050 \end{matrix}$

$\begin{matrix} Discount Amortize = \frac{Discount on Bonds Payable}{Semi-annualPeriod} \\ = \frac{$ 6, 600}{10 \times 2} \\ = $ 330 \end{matrix}$

$\begin{matrix} Interest Expenses = Discount On Bond Amortized + Coupon Amount \\ = $ 330 + $ 6, 050 \\ = $ 6, 380 \end{matrix}$
