Dunn-Whitaker Construction has agreed to construct a plant in a new industrial park. To finance the construction, the county government issued $4,000,000 of 10-year, 5.25% revenue bonds for $4,110,000 on December 31, 2013. Dunn-Whitaker will pay the interest and principal on the bonds. When the bonds are repaid, Dunn-Whitaker will receive title to the plant. In the interim, Dunn-Whitaker will pay property taxes as if it owned the plant. This financing arrangement is attractive to Dunn-Whitaker Construction, as state and local government bonds are exempt from federal income taxation and thus carry a lower interest rate. The bonds are attractive to investors, as both Dunn-Whitaker and the county are issuers. The bonds pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31.

Required: Prepare an amortization table through December 31, 2015, for these revenue bonds assuming straight-line amortization. If an amount box does not require an entry, enter zero ("0").
