Is anybody know about Accounting? Bond Interest Expense? - bond interest calculations

Hello, I have trouble understanding how this table ...

output [a corporate bond of $ 100,000, is running in 10 yrs.this interest rates at the end of each year to an annual rate of 5%.
This link is sold at a price of $ 92,641.
As reported, b interest straight until the end of the first year under the amortization?]

I calculate interest
[100,000 * 0.05 = 5000]

Face or par value of $ 100,000 - the price of $ 92,641 coupon = $ 7359 (to be amortized over 10 years)

Interest paid $ 100,000 per year x 5% = $ 5,000

Dr. Interest Expense $ 5735.90 (reply)
CR Cash $ 5,000
Cr Coupon $ 735.90
