Respuesta :

Answer:

$265,589

Explanation:

The computation of the interest expense for the six months is shown below:

= The value of the bond × yield interest rate × number of months ÷ total number of months in a year

= $4,426,480 × 12% × 6 months ÷ 12 months

= $265,589

The six months is computed from January 1 to June 30

And the other information which is given in the question is not relevant. Hence, ignored it
