Answer:

The Journal entry is as follows:

Retirement of Bond is recorded as shown below:

Bonds payable A/c                       Dr.  $1,000,000

Premium on bonds A/c                 Dr.  $10,000

Loss on retirement of bonds A/c  Dr.  $40,000

To cash A/c                                                           $1,050,000

(For bonds retired)  

Workings:

Premium on bonds:

= Current book value - Face value

= $1,010,000 - $1,000,000

= $10,000

cash = Face value + premium of 5 percent over par

        = $1,000,000 + ($1,000,000 × 0.05)

        = $1,000,000 + $50,000

        =  $1,050,000

Based on the face value of the bond, the retirement of the bond by Cyclop Company will be recorded as:

Date          Account Title                                               Debit              Credit

                 Bonds payable                                       $1,000,000

                  Loss on bond call                                    $ 40,000

                 Bond premium                                          $10,000

                 Cash                                                                           $1,050,000

What is the entry to record the call?

The bonds payable account is to be debited with the face value of $1,000,000.

Bond premium:
= Current market value - Face value

= 1,010,000 - 1,000,000

= $10,000

The cash paid is:

= face value of bond x ( 1 + 5%)

= 1,000,000 x 1.05

= $1,050,000

The loss on the bond call is:

= Cash paid - bond current value - bond premium

= 1,050,000 - 1,010,000 - 10,000

= $40,000
