    B. credit of $4,200 to Gain on Bond Redemption

    Explanation:

    face value 400,000

    callable at 106

    cash disbursements 400,000 x 1.06 = 424,000

    carrying value (after discount or premium) 419,800

    as is higher than face value the onds have a premium for 19,800 dollars

    result at redemption:

    book value - market value

    419,800 - 424,000 = 4,200

    Journal entry

    Bonds Payable 400,000 debit

    Premium on BP 19,800 debit

    Cash 424,000 credit

    Gain on Bond of Redemption 4,200 credit
