    The bond amortization on July 1,2019 is $2,400

    Explanation:

    discount on bond issuance = Face value of the bond-issue price

    face value of the bond is $2,400,000

    issue price is $2,352,000

    Discount on bond issuance=$2,400,000-$2,352,000

    =$48000

    annual bond amortization=discount on the bond/years to maturity

    years to maturity is 10 years

    annual bond amortization=$48,000/10

    =$4,800

    However six-month amortization=$4800*6/12

    =$2,400
