We should note that the bond investment account is recorded at cost by the Bondholder or Investor.

The cost or price is calculated as:

Cost = $90,000 * 86.4%

Cost = $90,000 * 0.864 = $77,760

Therefore, the entry to record should be:

debit Held-to-Maturity Investment in Bonds for $77,760 and credit Cash for $77,760
