The journal entry is given below:

Explanation:

According to the scenario, the computation for the given data are as follows:

Bonds payable premium = Carrying value - Face value

= $171720 - $159,000 = $12,720

Cash = Face Value * 95% = $159,000 * 95% = $151,050

So, Redemption gain = Carrying value - Cash

= $171,720 - $151,050 = $20,670

So, the Journal entry for the given data are as follows:

Bonds Payable A/c Dr. $159,000

Bonds Payable premium A/c Dr. $12,720

To Redemption gain A/c $20,670

To Cash A/c $151,050
