    a

    Cash 20811010

    Bonds payable 20000000

    Premium on Bonds payable 811010

    b

    Interest expense 818899

    Premium on Bonds payable 81101 = 811010/5*6/12

    Cash 900000 = 20000000*9%*6/12

    c

    The market rate of interest will be lower than the contract rate of interest.
