Answer:
Explanation:
The journal entry is shown below:
Bonds payable A/c Dr $640,000
Premium on bonds payable A/c Dr $23,970
Loss on bonds redemption A/c $8,030
To Cash A/c $672,000 ($640,000 × 1.05)
(Being the redemption of bond is recorded and the remaining balance is debited to the Loss on bonds redemption account)
The Premium on bonds payable is computed below:
= Carrying value of the bonds - face value of the bond
= $663,970 - $640,000
= $23,970
