    Interest expenses from issuing bond = $102,400

    Explanation:

    Generally, Bond creates interest expenses for a company. Issuing stock will not create any interest. The tax is low due to paying interest when issuing bond. Since the bond does not have any specific maturity period, the interest expense will be for 1 year only.

    Interest expense = The value of bond * Annual interest rate * number of periods

    Given,

    The value of bond = $1.28 million = $1,280,000

    Annual interest rate = 8% = 0.08

    Number of periods = 1

    Therefore, interest expense = $1,280,000 * 0.08 * 1 = $102,400
