    Issue price of bond = $330,654

    Face Value = $272000

    Premium on issue of bond = $330,654 - $272000 = 58654

    Journal entry for bond issuance:

    Cash Dr $330,654

    Bonds Payable $272000

    Premium on Bonds payable $58654

    (Being bond issued at a premium of $58654)

    As per effective interest method, interest expense = market rate * book value of bond

    = 6.5% * $330,654 = $21492.5

    Cash interest = $272000 * 9.5% = $25840

    Premium to be amortized on interest date = $25840 - $21492.5 = $4347.5 or $4348
