2. Journalize the payment of semiannual interest on July 1, 2016. (Record debits first, then credits. Select explanations on the last line of the journal entry.)

Answer and Explanation:

The journal entries are shown below:

1. Cash Dr $1,000,000

         To Bond payable $1,000,000

(Being the issuance of the bond is recorded)

For recording this we debited the cash as it increased the assets and credited the bond payable as it also increased the liabilities

2. Interest Expense Dr ($1,000,000 × 5% × 1 ÷ 2)$25,000

             To Cash$25,000

(Being the interest expense is recorded)

For recording this we debited the interest expense as it increased the expense and credited the cash as it decreased the asset

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
