Accounting

Mecca Energy Corp. issued a convertible bond on 1 August 20X9. The 10-year, 3% $20,000,000 bond pays interest semi-annually each 31 July and 31 January. At maturity, each $1,000 bond is convertible into 120 common shares. The bond was issued for $20,800,000. Market interest rates were approximately 4%. (PV of $1, PVA of $1, and PVAD of $1.) (Use appropriate factor(s) from the tables provided.)

Required: 1. Provide the journal entry to record the initial issuance of the bond. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field. Round your time value to 5 decimal places and your final answers to the nearest whole dollar.)
