    Dr. Cash $70,000

    Cr. Bond Payable $70,000

    June 30, 2018

    Dr. Interest Expense $2,450

    Cr. Cash $2,450

    Explanation:

    If the market rate is equal to the coupon rate of a bond, the bond will be issued at par. Bond is recognised as a liability and recorded in the account of Bond Payable.

    Interest is paid on the face value and stated rate of the bond.

    Interest Payment = Face value x Coupon rate x 6/12 = $70,000 x 7% x 6/12 = $2,450.
