    July 1 Bonds Payable 400000 Dr

    Premium on Bonds Payable 11200 Dr

    Cash 408000 Cr

    Gain on Redemption 3200 Cr

    Explanation:

    The data provided for the carrying value and other amounts is of 1st July thus the statement regarding the interest payment is irrelevant.

    The bonds are redeemed at 408000 which is less than their carrying value which is 411200 (face value of 400000 and premium of 11200). Thus, we can conclude that there is a gain on early redemption.

    The gain on redemption = 411200 - 408000 = 3200

    The entry for this event will require to close the bond payable and related premium account by debiting them and crediting the cash and gain account.
