Date            Account Title            Debit                        Credit

July 1        Cash                         $9,457,500

Discount on bond payable          $292,500

Bond payable                                                               $9,750,000

Calculation:

Cash  =$9,750,000 x 97% = $9,457, 500

Discount = $9, 750,000 - $9,457,500= $292,500
