    Explanation:

    Note: Requirement is record the retirement of bonds maturity.

    Bonds Payable A/c ... Dr $400,000

    Premium on bonds payable A/c ... Dr $12,000

    Gain on retirement of bonds A/c ... Cr $4,000

    Working Note:

    Given,

    Book value of bonds retirement day is $412,000

    Face value of bond is $400,000

    Call Price of the bonds is $408,000

    Premium on bonds payable = Book value - Face value

    = $412,000 - $400,000

    = $12,000

    Gain on redemption of bonds = Book value - Call Price

    = $412,000 - $408,000

    = $4,000
