    The answer is $90,000

    Explanation:

    Interest rate is 6percent

    Principal is $3,000,000

    Annual repayment:

    6percent of $3,000,000

    = $180,000

    Therefore, semi annual (2 times a year) will be:

    $180,000 : 2

    $90,000

    The bond was issued on March 2, 2019. And the payment is semiannual (meaning the interest will be paid two times a year). And the payment date for interest are March 1 and September 1 of every year till it expires.

    The payment for March 1 2019 is not possible because the bond was issued March 2, 2019 and the interest payment has not started. Therefore, the next repayment of $90,000 is September 1. And this will be the interest expenditure for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2019
