Answer and Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Cash Dr $370,000

Discount on bond payable Dr $14,280

To Bond payable $384,280

(Being the issuance of the bond is recorded)

For recording this we debited the cash as it increase the assets and credited the bond payable as it also increased the liabilities and the difference is debited to the discount on bond payable

This is the answer but the same is not given in the options
