4.- Yes, as the market is willing to accept a higher price o nthe bond as it yields above the market.

Explanation:

proceeds:   31,  951,  110

face value: 30,000,000

premium       1, 951,   110

the premium is the difference between the proceeds and face value.

It will be amortized over 20 payment periods:

1,951,110 / 20 = 97,555.5

this will be subtracted from the interest cash payment to determinate the interest expense:

30,000,000 x 5% = 1,500,000

1,500,000 - 97,555.5 = 1,402,444.5

Under straight line mehtod all entries are the same.
