    The Journal entry is as follows:

    Retirement of Bond is recorded as shown below:

    Bonds payable A/c Dr. $1,000,000

    Premium on bonds A/c Dr. $10,000

    Loss on retirement of bonds A/c Dr. $40,000

    To cash A/c $1,050,000

    (For bonds retired)

    Workings:

    Premium on bonds:

    = Current book value - Face value

    = $1,010,000 - $1,000,000

    = $10,000

    cash = Face value + premium of 5 percent over par

    = $1,000,000 + ($1,000,000 * 0.05)

    = $1,000,000 + $50,000

    = $1,050,000
