cash                 150,000 debit

discount on BP 25,000 debit

       bonds payables      175,000 credit

Explanation:

136,000  bonds  136,000/160,000 = 0.85

 24,000 warrant 24,000 /160,000 = 0.15

160,000

bonds 150,000 x 0.85 = 127,500

discount on bonds: 175,000 - 127,500 = 47,500

warrants 150,000 x 0.15 = 22,500
