Answer:

$527,737

Explanation:

The Bond Payment or Coupon always includes the Interest Portion and the the Capital Potion. The question only requires the Interest Portion of the Bond.

The Bond Parameters can be set as :

PV = - $5,259,870

FV = $5,700,000

PMT = ($5,700,000 x 8%) ÷ 2 = $228,000

N = 5 x 2 = 10

YTM = 10 %

P/YR = 2

Constructing an amortization schedule for 2020 gives :

Date            Capital Portion         Interest              Balance

June 30           $34,994              $262,994        $5,294,864

Dec 30             $36,743               $264,743         $5,331,607

Total                  $71,737                $527,737         $5,331,607

therefore,

The amount of interest expense to be reported for 2020 is $527,737
