George Gershwin Co. sold $2,161,000 of 10%, 8-year bonds at 103 on January 1, 2014. The bonds were dated January 1, 2014, and pay interest on July 1 and January 1. If Gershwin uses the straight-line method to amortize bond premium or discount, determine the amount of interest expense to be reported on July 1, 2014, and December 31, 2014.

Please don't use a financial calculator. Rather use journal entries if possible.

I don't understand why my answer is incorrect.
