    Dr cash $1,000,000

    Cr Bonds payable $1,000,000

    Being issuance of bonds at face value

    Explanation:

    The cash realized from the bond issue is $ 1,000,000.00 (1000*$1000) since the bonds were issued at par value of $1000 each.

    The correct accounting entries for the bonds issuance would a debit to cash account of $1,000,000 and a credit to bonds payable account for the same amount.

    The rationale for this is that cash increased, hence the asset account is debited and liability, bonds payable also increased.
