Cash 1.605.000‬‬ debit

Discount on Bonds payable 279,480 debit

Bonds payable 1,500,000 credit

Warrant on stock 384,480‬ credit

Explanation:

cash proceeds:

1,500,000 x 107/100 =

bond par value $1,000

warrants 45 x $7 = $315

Total $1,315

Issued at 107 which is 1,000 x 107/100 = 1,070

bonds issued: 1,500,000 / 1,000 = 1,500

bonds payable: 1,070 x 1,000/1,315 = 813,68 x 1,500

discount on bonds: 1,000 - 813,68 = 186,32‬ x 1,500

stock warrants 1.070x315/1,315=256,31 x 1,500
