What is the amount of the discount on the bonds at issuance

Respuesta :

Answer:

$9,000

Explanation:

The computation of the  amount of the discount on the bonds at issuance is shown below:

= Par value of the bond - issued price of the bond

= $400,000 - $391,000

= $9,000

By deducting the issued price of the bond from the par value of the bond we can get the discount amount on issuance of the bond and the same is applied above
