Answer:
Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
Cash A/c Dr $255,780 ($261,000 × 98%)
Discount on bonds payable A/c $5,220
To Bonds payable A/c $261,000
(Being the issuance of the bond is recorded)
We assume the par value is $100 but the bond is issued less than the par value i.e $98 so the difference would be debited to the discounts on bond payable
