Jan. 1, 2018                                                                            457,102

June 30, 2018    22,500     23,572.45     1,072.45             458,174.45

Dec. 31, 2018      22,500     23,572.45     1,072.45             459,246.90

Assuming you are using a straight line amortization of bond discount, then the amortization per coupon payment = $42,898 / 40 = $1,072.45

January 1, 2018, bonds are issued

Dr Cash 457,102

Dr Discount on bonds payable 42,898

   Cr Bonds payable 500,000

June 30, 2021, first coupon payment

Dr Interest expense 23,572.45

    Cr Cash 22,500

    Cr Discount on bonds payable 1,072.45

December 31, 2021, second coupon payment

Dr Interest expense 23,572.45

    Cr Cash 22,500

    Cr Discount on bonds payable 1,072.45

If the company uses the effective interest method, the numbers vary a little:

amortization of bond discount on first coupon payment:

($457,102 x 5%) - ($500,000 x 4.5%) = $22,855.10 - $22,500 = $355.10

Journal entry to record first coupon payment:

Dr Interest expense 22,855.10

    Cr Cash 22,500

    Cr Discount on bonds payable 355.10

amortization of bond discount on second coupon payment:

($458,174.45 x 5%) - ($400,000 x 4.5%) = $22,908.72 - $22,500 = $408.72

Journal entry to record second coupon payment:

Dr Interest expense 22,908.72

    Cr Cash 22,500

    Cr Discount on bonds payable 408.72

1. The completion of Amortization Table (first three rows) is as follows:
