    Interest expense ($175,000 - $40,000) $135,000

    Bond premium $40,000

    To Cash $175,000

    (Being the interest payment is recorded)

    Explanation:

    The journal entry is shown below:

    Interest expense ($175,000 - $40,000) $135,000

    Bond premium $40,000

    To Cash $175,000

    (Being the interest payment is recorded)

    For recording this we debited the interest expense and bond premium and credited the cash as it reduced the assets

    The computation is shown below:

    For premium

    = Cash proceeds - face value

    = $5,400,000 - $5,000,000

    = $400,000

    And,

    The number of periods is:

    = 5 years * 2

    = 10 years

    And,

    The amortization amount

    = $400,000 : 10 years

    = $40,000

    We assumed the straight-line method is followed
