The Journal entries are as follows:

(a) On January 1, 2020

Cash A/c [$504,000 × 1.02] Dr. $514,080

       To Bonds payable                               $504,000

                To cash                                      $25,200

(To record the payment of interest and related amortization)

Interest expense:

= $514,080 × (9.7705% ÷ 2)

= $514,080 × 0.0488525

Cash = $504,000 × (10% ÷ 2)

         = $25,200
