Question

I figured out that the interest expense amount should be 444,500 and the discount amount should be 339,500 but it keeps saying it's wrong on my homework. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong? 

Here's the question. 

Discount Amortization

On the first day of the fiscal year, a company issues a $3,500,000, 6%, five-year bond that pays semiannual interest of $105,000 ($3,500,000 × 6% × ½), receiving cash of $3,350,000.

Journalize the first interest payment and the amortization of the related bond discount. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
