Financing Option #2 Issue $500,000 of bonds. The bond issue would be developed with a stated rate of 6% and would be a 10-year bond with interest paid semi-annually on June 30 and December 31. The current market rate for a similar bond is 4%. Sam would like the journal entry for the bond issue and the journal entry for the first two interest payments. SSV would use the effective interest rate to amortize any bond discount or premium.
