Oswaldo Olsen · Answer 1

bonds payable 134,000 debit

loss on redemption 17,018 debit

cash 138,020 credit

discount on bonds payabke 12,998 credit

Explanation:

redemption disbursement:

face value x redemption quote

134,000 x 103/100 = 138,020

carrying value: 121,002

loss at redemption 17,018

We are using 138,020 cash (asset) to pay a liability for 121,002

discount/premium on the bonds:

face value 134,000

carrying value 121,002

discount: 12,998

In the journal entry we must write-off the bond payable and the discount. Then, declare the loss at redemption and the cash used.
