If the company uses the effective interest method, the numbers vary a little:

amortization of bond premium on first coupon payment:

($856,850 x 3.5%) - ($800,000 x 4%) = $29,989.75 - $32,000 = -$2,010.25 ≈ -$2,010

Journal entry to record first coupon payment:

Dr Interest expense 29,990

Dr Premium on bonds payable 2,010

    Cr Cash 32,000

amortization of bond premium on second coupon payment:

($854,840 x 3.5%) - ($800,000 x 4%) = $29,919.40 - $32,000 = -$2,080.60 ≈ -$2,081

Journal entry to record second coupon payment:

Dr Interest expense 29,919

Dr Premium on bonds payable 2,081

   Cr Cash 32,000
