When a bond is issued at a discount, it is issued for a price less than par (face value). For example, if you were to purchase a bond with a face value of one thousand dollars for nine-hundred and eighty dollars, you bought the bonds at a discount because you purchased it for less than the bond will pay out at maturity. To calculate the 98, you would divide the purchase price by the par value.

What is a discount on bonds payable account in accounting?
All bonds have a stated or "par" value, which is the value that the bond will hold after the bond term is completed at maturity (par value is usually $1000 per bond). When a bond is issued at a discount, it means that a company issued the bond for less than the par value (i.e less than $1000). The original discount is calculated as the difference between the par value and the bond sale price, and it is amortized over the life of the bond.

Where does the interest on a 4 year zero coupon go?
It goes to the investor who buys the bond. A zero coupon bond is a bond in which, the investor need not pay any premium (coupon) above the face value of the bond while purchasing it. Let us say a company issues a $10,000 bond at a discount of 10% with zero coupon, it is enough if the investor pays $9000 to buy the bond. At the time of maturity he would get back $10,000. This 10% discount can be compared to the interest earned on the investment for the investor.

What is the theory behind requiring bond issuers to charge bond discounts to interest expense when the discount is amortized?
When a bond matures the issuer has to pay the investor the full face value of the bond. The bond will also have a stated interest rate. If an investor will only accept a rate of interest which is higher than the stated interest rate, the issuer will likely sell the bond for less than the present value of the face value of the bond. For example, If a $100,000 bond is issued with a $4,000 discount to meet the buyers desired return, the issuer will have to pay the investor the $96,000 ($100,000-$96,000) the issuer received plus the $4,000 discount upon maturity. Since the issuer has to pay out that $4,000, upon maturity, to secure $96,000 the $4,000 discount is recognized by the issuer as interest expense (over the life of the bond).
