Answer and Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

But before the following calculations are required

The Unamortized cost of the Issue is

= ($4,000 ÷ 10 years) × 7 years

= $2,800

Now

Discount on Bond is

= $820,000 - $780,000

= $40,000

And,

Unamortized Discount is

= ($40,000 ÷ 10 Years) × 7years

= $28,000

Now

Carrying Value of Bond after 3 Years is

= $820,000 - ($28,000 + $2,800)

= $789,200

And,

Loss on Early Retirement of Bond is

= $810,000 $-789,200

= $20,800

Now

Journal Entry is

Bond Payable $820,000 Dr.

Loss on Early Retirement of Bond $20,800

To Discount on Bond Payable $28,000

To Cost of Issue of Bond Payable $2,800

To Cash or Bank $810,000

(being the call on bond is recorded)
