Answer:

Dr Bonds payable $50,700

Dr premium on bonds payable $4,265

Cr Cash $53,000

Cr gain on bonds retirement($50,700+$4,265-$53000) $1,965

Step-by-step explanation:

The premium yet to be amortized on the bond at retirement is the carrying value minus face value i.e $54,965-$50,700=$4265

The premium on bonds payable would now be debited with $4265

The cash paid on retirement would be credited to cash account

The face value of the bonds payable of $50,700 would be debited to bonds payable in order to show that the obligation has been discharged.
