Explanation:

The bond price is the pv of all cash inflows promised by the bond which includes annual coupon and repayment of face value at redemption:

bond price=face value *105%

bond price=$400,000*105%=$420000

The cash proceeds from the issue would be debited to cash while bonds payable is credited with $400,000 and premium on bonds payable is credited with $20,000.

amortization of premium=$20,000/10=$2,000

interest payment=10%*$400,000=$40,000
