    Cash 294,000 debit

    discount on BP 6,000 debit

    Bonds payable 300,000 credit

    --to record issuance of bonds--

    Explanation:

    We multiply the face value by the issuance quote over 100

    300,000 x 98/100 = 294,000

    Then, the difference will be considered discount as the bond were issued below their face value

    300,000 - 294,000 = 6,000

    We are going to debit cash for the amount collected and then, debit the discount to adjust the bonds payable to the carrying value of 294,000
