Answer:

A credit to Premium on Bonds Payable of $7,850

Explanation:

The journal entry to record the issuance of the bond is shown below:

Cash $107,850  

    Premium on bonds payable $7,850

    Bonds payable  $100,000

(Being the issuance of the bond is recorded)

Here cash is debited as it increased the assets and rest of the two accounts are credited as it increased the liabilities
