Answer and Explanation:

The Journal entries are shown below:-

1. Cash Dr, $600,000

         To Bonds Payable $600,000

(Being Bonds issued is recorded)

Here we debited the cash as increased the assets and we credited the bonds payable as  it also increased the liabilities

2. Interest Expense Dr, $21,000 ($600000 × 7% × 6 ÷ 12)

              To Cash $21,000

(Being first semi annual interest paid is recorded)

Here we debited the interest expenses as it increased the expenses and we credited the cash as  it decreased the assets

3. Interest Expense Dr, $21,000 ($600,000 × 7% × 6 ÷ 12)

              To Cash $21,000

(Being second semi annual interest paid is recorded)
