Issuing a bond adds a liability (bond to be paid) and cash as an asset. So, overall the company's b/s increases on both sides.
A bond is a liability that is recorded on the balance sheet as part of long term liabilities.
Bond is issued to raise capital which is liability for business and shown under liability section of balance sheet.
contigent liability
This transaction will be shown in balance sheet as cash as well as bond liability both related to balance sheet accounts.
A bond sinking fund is reported in the section of the balance sheet immediately after the current assets. The bond sinking fund is part of the long-term asset section that usually has the heading "Investments." The bond sinking fund is a long-term (noncurrent) asset even if the fund contains only cash. The reason is the cash in the fund must be used to retire bonds, which are long-term liabilities. In other words, because the money in the bond sinking fund cannot be used to pay current liabilities, it must be reported outside of the working capital section of the balance sheet. (Working capital is current assets minus current liabilities.)
commercial paper is like a bond it will show up on the balance sheet as a asset if there is no lien on it. It will also show as a liability if there is a lien on it.

Everything that a company owes to third parties like its creditors and bond holders; basically, everything to be found on the right-hand side of a balance sheet (the 'liabilities'-side) except Capital.
The bonding of paper is colour sheet.
The issue price of a bond quoted as 98 1/4 means it is sold at 98.25% of its face value. For a $2,000 bond, the issue price can be calculated by multiplying the face value by the quoted percentage: $2,000 × 0.9825 = $1,965. Therefore, the issue price of the bond is $1,965.
If interest rates decrease below the bond's face interest rate before the bond is issued, the bond will likely be issued at a premium. This means that investors will pay more than the face value of the bond to receive higher interest payments compared to current market rates. Consequently, the cash received from the bond issue will be greater than the face value, increasing the total funds raised by the issuer.
If the bond is 'callable' th issue will likely call it when yields fall as they can then refinance more cheaply.
