    The Journal entries are as follows:

    (a) On January 1, 2020

    Cash A/c (6,000 bonds * $102) Dr. $612,000

    To Bonds payable $600,000

    To premium on bonds payable $12,000

    (To record the issuance of the bonds)

    Workings:

    premium on bonds payable = $612,000 - $600,000

    = $12,000

    (b) On July 1, 2020

    Interest expense A/c Dr. $29,700

    Premium on bonds payable A/c Dr. $300

    To cash A/c $30,000

    (To record the interest expense)

    Workings:

    Cash = $600,000 * (6/12) * 10%

    = $30,000

    Premium on bonds payable = $12,000 : 40 periods

    = $300

    (c) On December 31, 2020

    Interest expense A/c Dr. $29,700

    Premium on bonds payable A/c Dr. $300

    To Interest payable A/c $30,000
