    Given that,

    Value of bonds purchased = $62,000

    Interest rate = 11 percent

    Bonds are issued at par.

    Interest Amount = Value of bonds purchased * (Interest rate : 2)

    = $62,000 * (11% : 2)

    = $62,000 * 5.5%

    = $3,410

    Therefore, the journal entry is as follows:

    Cash A/c Dr. $3,410

    To interest revenue A/c $3,410

    (To record the receipt of the usual semiannual interest payment)
