    Dr Investment in bonds $755,000

    Cr discount on bonds investment $80,000

    Cr cash $675,000

    December 31:

    Dr cash ($755,000*4%*6/12) $15,100

    Dr discount on bonds investment (difference) $1775

    Cr bond interest revenue ($675,000*5%*6/12) $16,875

    Explanation:

    The purchase of the bonds at $675,000 while the face value was $755,000 meant that the bonds were acquired at a discount of $80,000 ($755,000-$675,000), as a result the appropriate entries would be to credit cash with $675,000 paid as well as the discount on investment with $80,000 while the investment in bonds account is debited with face value of $755,000
