Answer:

$3,673.70

Explanation:

Discount on issue = $100,000 - $96,526 = $3474

Divide by Total semiannual periods = 10*2 = 20

Semiannual Discount amortization = $3474 /20 = $173.70

Semiannual Cash interest = $100,000*7%/2 = $3,500

Add: Discount amortization = $173.70

Interest expense for the first semiannual interest period = $3,673.70
