Answer:

$4,000

Explanation:

Par value of bonds = $2,000,000

Issue price of bonds = $1,960,000

Discount on bonds payable = Par value of bonds - Issue price of bonds

= 2,000,000 - 1,960,000

= $40,000

Semiannual amortization of Discount on bonds payable = Discount on bonds payable/10

= 40,000/10

= $4,000
