    interest expense 38,866.5 debit

    discount on bond payable 3,866.5 credit

    cash 35,000 credit

    Explanation:

    The effective method calculates the interest expense considering the carrying value and the market rate. Then, the difference with the coupon payment is amortization of the premium or discount

    carrying value (issued price of the bonds) 431,850

    market rate: 9%

    interest expense: 431,850 x 9% = 38,866.5

    coupon payment 500,000 x 7% = 35,000

    this is the cash outlay for the bonds

    Difference: 38,866.5 - 35,000 = 3,866.5

    As the proceeds are lower than face value, this is a discount.
