Answer 1

Answer: C $9,400,000 E $600,000; B $10,000,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The Company Issued bonds worth $10,000,000 but only received $9,400,000 in cash.

This means that they issued the Bonds at a discount. With the discount being the difference between how much was issued and how much was received.

This discount will be sent to the Discount on Bonds Payable account.

The Cash received of $9,400,000 will be sent to the cash account.

The company will still have to pay the entire figure of $10,000,000 in bonds so the full amount will go to the Bonds Payable account.

The Journal Entry is thus,

DR Cash $9,400,000

DR Discount on Bonds Payable $600,000

CR Bonds Payable $10,000,000
