The bond is issued on Premium, Now calculate the premium on bond value

Premium on bond = Issuance value - Premium on Bond

Premium on bond = $510,000 - $500,000

Premium on bond = $10,000

The bond payable value of $500,000 and Premium on the bond aer reported in the long term liability section of balance sheet.
