Answer: discount on bonds payable

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the information given, since the sum of the fair value of the warrants and the face amount of the bonds exceeds the cash proceeds, then the excess will be reported as the discount on bonds payable.

The discount on the bonds payable occurs in a scenario whereby the bonds are issued for a lesser amount than their face or their maturity amount.

The reason for this is when the bonds have a stated interest rate that is smaller than market interest rate for similar bonds.
