    Dr Cash $3,100,000

    Cr Bonds payable $3,100,000

    Explanation:

    Since the bonds were issued at face value of $1000 each, the cash proceeds received from the entire issue of 3,100 bonds can be computed thus:

    Cash proceeds=$1000*3,100=$3,100,000

    The cash proceeds imply that cash inflows have increased by $3,100,000, as a result cash account should be debited with $3,100,00o while the same amount is credited to bonds payable since an increase in debt obligation should be a credit entry.
