    Dr Cash account 50,000

    Cr Bonds Payable account 50,000

    Explanation:

    The company received $50,000 in cash. Since cash is an asset and it increased when the bonds were issued, it should be debited.

    The company has to pay bonds worth $50,000. Since bonds payable is a liability and it increased when the bonds were issued, it should be credited.
