    Dr. Cash $3,549,590

    Cr. Premium on Account Receivable $649,590

    Cr. Bond Payable Account $2,900,000

    Explanation:

    The difference between the face value of the bond and the sale value of the bond is known as premium or the discount on the bond. If the face value is higher from the sale value the bond is issued on the discount and if the sale value of the bond is higher than the face value the bond is issued on the premium.

    Premium on the Bond = Face value - Sale value = $3,549,590 - $2,900,000 = $649,590

    The Premium will be amortized during the life of the bond to maturity and deducted from the interest expense.
