Dr. Cash $508,800
Dr. Discount on Bond $21,200
Cr. Bond Payable $530,000
Explanation:
The bond is issued on discount when the bond issuance proceeds are less than the face value of the bond. The discount is expensed over the bond period until maturity. It is added to the interest expense value to expense it.
Issuance value = $530,000 x 96% = $508,800
Discount on the bond = Face value - Issuance value = $530,000 - $508,800 = $21,200
