Companies issue Bonds at discount when market rate of interest is more than interest on Bonds issued.
Price of a bond depends on the interest rate given on the bond and the market rate (or effective rate of bond).
Say a company is issuing a bond for $1000 with interest of 10$ per annum but the market rate of interest is 11% per annum on the same $1000.
The investor would want to earn 11% instead of 10% since 11% is higher.
To cover this difference the company issues its bond at discount so that investor may get return equal to what he is getting in market. So the investor will be asked to pay only $ 963 so that he can earn effective 11% on 963.
See the below example to understand this clearly. Assume a bond of 1000 is issued at 10% coupon with market rate 11% for 5 years.
