    --to record payment of interest on bonds--

    interest expense 18,400 debit

    cash 18,400 credit

    --to record payment of interest on bonds--

    Explanation:

    As the market rate is the same as the bond rate there will be no discount nor premium.

    The interest expense will match the cash disbursements with the bonds.

    cash disbursements: 460,000 x 8% / 2 = 18,400
