June 30, 2021
Dr 12% Bonds payable 770,000
Dr Loss on retirement of bonds 31,570
Cr Cash 793,100
(103*770,000)

(To record redemption of old bonds)
NEW BOND ISSUE:

Cr Premium on bonds 20,000
(1,000,000 * 2/100)
(To record issue of new bonds at premium)
CALCULATION for unamortized discount :
Discount at the time of issue 15,400
(2%*770,000)
Less: Discount amortised till june 30, 2021 (15,400 / 40 * 18) (6,930)
Unamortized discount 8,470
We made use of 18 because the interest was been given twice in a year which is December 31 and June 30
CALCULATION for loss on redemption :
Redemption of bonds 793,100
(103*770,000)
Less: Carrying value (761,530)
(770,000 - 8,470)
Loss on redemption 31,570
b. Preparation of the entry required on December 31, 2021, to record the payment of the first 6 months' interest and the amortization of premium on the bonds.
