Dr Cash $2,032,577.26

Cr premium on bonds payable $122,577.26

Cr bonds payable $1,910,000

Explanation:

First and foremost the proceeds received from the bond issuance needs to determine the pv formula in excel as follows:

=-pv (rate, nper, pmt, fv)

rate is the yield to maturity of 9%

nper is the number of annual coupons payable by the bond which is 10

pmt is the amount of annual coupon i. e $1,910,000*10%=$191000

fv is the face value of the bond which is $1,910,000

=-pv (9%,10,191000,1910000) = $2,032,577.26

premium on bonds issuance = 2,032,577.26-1,910,000.00 = $122,577.26
