    Dr cash $42,309,236

    Dr Discount on bonds payable $3,690,764

    Cr Bonds payable $46,000,000

    Being issue of bonds at discount

    Explanation:

    The cash proceeds received from the bond issuance of $42,309,236 is lower than the face value of the bond of $46,000,000, hence it is safe to say that the bonds were issued at discount of $3,690,764 ($46,000,000-$42,309,236), the correct entries would be to debit cash account with $42,309,236, debit discount on bonds payable with $ 3,690,764 and credit bonds payable with $46,000,000
