Cash Dr $9,808,729

To Premium on bond payable $2,008,729

To Bond payable $7,800,000

(Being the issuance of the bond payable is recorded)

Explanation:

The journal entry for issuance of the bond is shown below:

Cash Dr $9,808,729

To Premium on bond payable $2,008,729

To Bond payable $7,800,000

(Being the issuance of the bond payable is recorded)

For recording this we debited the cash as it increased the assets and credited the premium on bond payable as issued amount is more than the face value plus the liabilities is also increased so the bond payable is also credited
