Workings:

        = $310,000 × 1.02

        = $316,200

Premium on Bonds Payable = $316,200 - $310,000

June 1st 2022

Dr Cash                                            316,200

Cr Bond Payable                            310,000

Cr Premium on Bond payable       6,200

( to record bond issuance)

Explanation:

As at issuance, we have:

+ Cash receipt from bond issuance = 310,000 x 102% = $316,200. So, Cash account goes up (Dr) by $316,200 to reflect the change.

+ Bond payable record at the par-value of total bonds issued or $310,000. So, Bond Payable goes up (Cr) by $310,000 to record the bond liability.

+ As bond is issued at premium ( at 102); a Premium on Bond account is credited at the amount of $6,200; which is decided is the different between the amount debit to cash account and the amount credit to bond payable account ( 316,200 - 310,000).

u = 30

continuing your method

= +

subtract from both sides

= - thus

= -

= ⇒ u = 30
