Semiannual interest = 400000*.12 *6/12 = 24000
semiannual months = 2*2=4
semiannual yield = 6*6/12 = 3%
Issue price :[PVA 3%,4*Interest ]+[PVF 3%,4*Face value]
=[3.71710*24000]+[.88849*400000]
= 89210.4+ 355396
= 444606
Total interest expense for 2019:11651.39+11311.12 = 22962.51
correct option is "B" =22962
