Answer:  a credit of $243,900 to Premium on Bonds Payable.

Explanation:

The bonds were issued at a premium of 103 so the bond issue price is:

= 8,130,000 * 103/100

= $8,373,900

The premium is therefore:

= Issue price - Face value

= 8,373,900 - 8,130,000

= $243,900

This premium will be credited to the Premium on Bonds Payable account to show that the Bonds were issued for higher than their face value.
