    a. $21,800

    Explanation:

    The discoun of issuance of the bond is amortized over the period until maturity. Total Interest expesne on a discounted bond is the sum of the coupon payment and the amortization of the discount amount.

    Coupon payment = $200,000 x 10% = $20,000 per year

    Discount on the bond = $200,000 - $191,000 = $9,000

    Discount amotized per year = $9,000 / 5 = $1,800

    Total Interest Expense = Coupon Payment + Amortization of Discount

    Total Interest Expense = 20,000 + 1800 = $21,800
