Expert Solution

Retiring value of bonds = $800,000 * 1.05. = $840,000

Carrying value = $829,960

Since the amount paid to retire the bonds is higher than the carrying value on the bonds, the company needs to record a loss on retirement.

Loss on Retirement = $840,000 - $829,960 = $10,040

Particulars	Amount	Amount

Bonds Payable A/c	800,000
Loss on Retirement of Bonds	10,040
Premium on Bonds payable	29,960
To Cash		840,000
(To record the retirement on bonds)

Since the carrying value of the bonds is greater than the par value of the bonds $800,000, the bonds have been issued at a premium. Hence the Premium on bonds at the time of the retirement is:- $840,000 - $800,000 - $10,040 = $29,960
