    Assets: increase by 19,500,000

    Liablities: increase by 19,500,000

    Equity: no effect

    Explanation:

    cash proceeds: 19,500,000

    face value: 20,000,000

    discount 500,000

    As the bonds issued were sold below par there is a discount.

    the entry will be:

    cash 19,500,000

    discount on BP 500,000

    bonds payable 20,000,000

    This will generate an increase on assets for 19,500,000

    and increase liablities for 19,500,000

    The issuance of bonds do not generate revenues or expenses. So the equity remains unchanged-
