Answer 1

Answer:

The journal entry is as follows:

Cash 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

(To record the issuance of the bonds and warrants)

Workings:

Cash:

= 2,000 × $1,000 × 101%

= $2,020,000

Discount on bonds payable:

= 2,000,000 - 2,020,000 × (980 ÷ 1,020)

= $59,216
