    The journal entry is shown below:

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, the computation for the given data are as follows:

    Cash = face value * 102%

    = $118,000 * 102% = $120,360

    Loss on bond = $120,360 - $106,554 = $13,806

    Discount payable on bonds = $118,000 - $106,554 = $11,446

    Interest expense = $118,000 * 9% = $10,620

    So, the journal entry for the given data are as follows:

    Apr. 30 Bonds Payable A/c Dr $118,000

    Loss on bonds A/c Dr. $13,806

    To Cash A/c $120,360
