    Amount paid in 2020 = $0

    Amount paid in 2021 = $60,000

    Explanation:

    Given:

    Bond price = $1,000,000

    Interest rate = 6%

    1. Bond was issued on October 1, 2020, and interest will be payable on April 1 and October 1. So in the year 2020, there is no chance for payment.

    Total payment for year 2020 = $0

    2. In the year 2021 April, 1 and October 1 will come and the company made payment.

    Total payment for year 2021 is:

    Total payment for year 2021 = $1,000,000 * 6%

    Total payment for year 2021 = $60,000
