Question

On December 31, a $1,500,000 bond issue on which there is an unamortized discount of $70,100 is redeemed for $1,455,000.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Bonds Payable A/c Dr. $1,500,000

Loss on Redemption of Bond A/c Dr. $25,100

To Discount on Bonds Payable A/c $70,100

To Cash A/c $1,455,000

(Being the redemption of the bond is recorded)

The loss on redemption of bond would be

= $1,455,000 + $70,100 - $1,500,000

= $25,100
