The new bonds were issued at 101 (face value $311,000). Ignoring interest, record the journal entries for the redemption of the old bonds and the issuance of the new bonds.

    Explanation:

    Redemption of Bonds Payable

    The maturity value for bonds payable is equal to the face value of these bonds. This means that the face value of old bonds was $311000.

    The bonds were carrying a discount. Thus, the carrying value of bonds was

    Carrying value = Face value - Discount

    Carrying value = 311000 - 11000 = $300000

    Bonds with a carrying value of $300000 were redeemed at 105% of the face value. The cash paid for redemption is,

    Cash paid = 311000 * 105% = 326550

    Thus, there was a loss on redemption of = 326550 - 300000 = $26550

    Issuance of Bonds Payable

    The bonds were issued at 101% of the face value which means they were issued at a premium.

    The amount of premium on these bonds is,

    Premium = Carrying value - Face value

    Premium = 311000 * 101% - 311000

    Premium = $3110
