The required journal entries are:

Dr Cash                    $200,000

Cr Bonds payable                       $200,000

The second bond was issued at par plus the accrued interest, as a result, the issue price is computed thus:

Par value                                                                   $100000

plus accrued interest to date($100000*12%*5/12)      $5000

Issued amount                                                          $105000

The journal entries as follows

Dr Cash                          $105000

Cr Bonds payable                        $100,000

Cr Interest expense                          $5000
