Explanation:

Journal entry to record the sale of the bond -

Cash Debit 2,000,000

Bonds Payable Credit 2,000,000

As the company issued 2,000 bonds with a face value of $1,000 per bond, therefore, 2,000 x $1,000 = $2,000,000 worth bonds have been issued. Novak Corp. will show this payable bond amount in the long-term liabilities of the Balance sheet.
