    The journal entry for the issue of bond for cash is shown below:

    Explanation:

    January 1

    Cash A/c ... Dr $281,400

    Bonds Payable A/c ... Cr $240,000

    Premium on Bonds Payable A/c ... Cr $41,400

    Working Notes:

    Cash = Bonds Par Value * Selling Price

    = $240,000 * 117.25 %

    = $281,400

    Premium on bonds payable = Cash - Bonds Payable

    = $281,400 - $240,000

    = $41,400
