    Cash 25 debit

    discount on bonds 5 debit

    interest revenue 30 credit

    Explanation:

    Notice we are working with the books of the company who purchase the bond

    cash proceeds 1,000 x 5%/2 = 25

    amortizaion 950 - 1000 = - 50 discount

    discount/total payment = amortization under straight-line method

    5 years at 2 payment per year = 10 payment

    50/10 = 5 amortization per payement

    Cash proceed + amortization discount = interest revenue

    25 + 5 = 30
