A discount

When the bonds coupon rate is more than the actual market interest rate it'll happen that the bond will be issued at discount. The companies wants to get more buyers so that it'll declare more interest rate than the original market rate but this extra interest will be sett off by way of issuing bonds at discounted price so that it can redeem the same at a lower price than compared to par value.
2)
option A
as the bonds issued at premium they receive cash more than $100,000
3)
Net Sale | 300,000 |
Uncollectible amount of sale | 1% |
Estimated provision | 3,000 |
Balance already in the provision | (400) |
Adjustment to provision account | 2,600 |
