    Dr. Cash $508,800

    Dr. Discount on Bond $21,200

    Cr. Bond Payable $530,000

    Explanation:

    The bond is issued on discount when the bond issuance proceeds are less than the face value of the bond. The discount is expensed over the bond period until maturity. It is added to the interest expense value to expense it.

    Issuance value = $530,000 x 96% = $508,800

    Discount on the bond = Face value - Issuance value = $530,000 - $508,800 = $21,200
