    Cash 4,400,200 debit

    Discount on BP 89,800 debit

    Bonds Payable 4,490,000 credit

    Explanation:

    The company should represent reality which is what actually occur:

    the company issued bonds with a face value of 4,490,000

    Then, it receive cash for 98/100 of this ammount:

    4,490,000 x 98/100 = 4,400,200

    The difference between face value and the proceeds will be a discount when negative and premium when above:

    4,400,200 - 4,490,000 = - 89,800

    as it is negative, this is a discount.
