    Annual interest expense = 10% x $500,000 = $50,000

    Interest expense on June 30 = $50,000/2 = $ 25,000

    The correct answer is A

    Explanation:

    In this case, there is need to calculate the annual interest expense, which is coupon rate (10%) multiplied by par value of the bond ($500,000). Then, we will divide the annual interest expense by 2 in order to obtain the semi-annual interest expense.
