Answer:

bonds payable 510,000 debit

premium on BP 15,300 debit

cash 499,800 credit

gain on redemption 23,500 credit

--to record redemption of bonds--

Step-by-step explanation:

cash outlay:

face value x quote:

510,000 x 98/100 = 499,800

book value:

face value + premium

510,000 + 15,300 = 523,300

Gain on redemption: 523,300 - 499,800 =23,500

To journalize we write-off the bonds payable account, we credit the cash outlay and recognize the gain
