Explanation:

1) To record issuance of bonds

Date            Account Title            Debit                        Credit

July 1        Cash                         $9,457,500

Discount on bond payable          $292,500

Bond payable                                                               $9,750,000

Calculation:

Cash  =$9,750,000 x 97% = $9,457, 500

Discount = $9, 750,000 - $9,457,500= $292,500

2)To record retirement of 11% bonds

Date            Account Title                        Debit                        Credit

August 1st     Bond payable             $5,460,000

Loss on Redemption of bonds        $218,400

Cash                                                                                            $5,569,200

Discount on Bonds payable                                                           $109,200

Calculation:

Cash =$5,460,000  x 102%  = $5,569,200

Loss on Redemption of bonds = Cash + Discount on bonds payable - Bonds payable =  $5,569,200 + $109,200) - $5,460,000=  $218,400
