    To record payment of bonds

    Bonds Payable 2,000,000

    Cash 1,940,000

    Gain on Redemption 60,000

    To record the call of the bonds at 97

    Explanation:

    The bonds were issued at par, we have no information to oppose that.

    The interst will be 2,000,000 x 9% x 1/2 = 90,000

    Notice there is 2 payment per year, so the interest are split in two

    Bonds called at 97:

    2,000,000 x. 97 = 1,940,000

    Book value ofthe bonds 2,000,000

    gain on redemption 60,000

    We pay obligation valued at 2,000,000 for 1,940,000 That's why we recognize a gain, we paid the debt cheaper.
