    Explanation:

    The entry that should be made on January 1 would be

    Cash 501,600 (w1) Debit

    Premium on bonds 61600 (w2) Credit

    Bonds payable 440000 Credit

    Working 1

    Cash proceeds = $440,000/100 x $114

    Cash proceeds = $501600

    Working 2

    Premium = selling price of bond - Face value of the bond

    Premium = $501,600 - $440,000

    Premium = 61600
