    Bond amortization schedule
    I would like to make sure that I've completed the bond schedule, etc. correctly with the information that was given below. I also attached it for better viewing.

    Bond interest and discount amortization.
    Logan Corporation issued $800,000 of 8% bonds on October 1, 2007, due on October 1, 2012. The interest is to be paid twice a year on April 1 and October 1.
    The bonds were sold to yield 10% effective annual interest. Logan Corporation closes its books annually on December 31.
    Instructions
    (a) Complete an amortization schedule for the above bond (for all periods) in a similar format as below. (Round all answers to the nearest dollar.) Use the effective-interest method.
