    premium on bonds payable 12,000

    Explanation:

    proceeds: 35,800

    face value (23,000)

    premium 12,800

    Amortization on premium under straight-line method:

    It will be the same for each payment. It will be equally distributed among the interest payment.

    premium / total payment

    12,800 / 16 = 800 amortization per payment

    June 30th, 2019

    the premium takes an amortization for 800

    so their balance is 12,800 - 800 = 12,000
