Answer 1

Answer:

In the books of Eisler Corporation :

Cash ( 2,000 x 1,000 x 101 %) A/c   Dr.  2,020,000

Discount on Bonds Payable A/c     Dr.   $59,216

To Bonds Payable                                                           2,000,000

To Paid-in Capital : Stock Warrants                                 79,216

Workings:

Bond issue proceeds proportionately allocated to bonds:

$=2,020,000\times\frac{980}{980+40}$

= 1,940,784.31

Discount on bonds payable = $ 2,000,000 - $1,940,784  

                                              = $59,216
