    The journal entries are shown below:

    On Jan 1

    Cash $340,000

    Bonds payable $340,00

    (Being the bond payable is issued for cash)

    For recording this we debited the cash as it increased the assets and credited the bond payable as it also increased the liabilities

    On Dec 31

    Interest expense ($340,000 * 8%) $27,200

    To Cash $27,200

    (Being the interest expense for year 1 is recorded)

    For recording this we debited the interest expense as it increased the expenses and credited the cash as it decreased the assets

    On Dec 31

    Interest expense ($340,000 * 8%) $27,200

    To Cash $27,200
