Answer:

Dr cash                                            $3,332,000

Dr discount on bonds payable           $68,000

Cr bonds payable                                                $3,400,000

Explanation:

The cash proceeds from the bond issuance is 98% of the face value.

Cash proceeds=$3,400,000*98%=$3,332,000.00  

This meant that the bond was issued at a discount of $ 68,000.00    ($3,400,000-$3,332,000).

In recording the bond issuance, the cash account is debited with the cash proceeds of $3,332,000  with the discount on bonds payable debited with $68,000 while bonds payable is credited with the face value of $3,400,000
