    Explanation:

    The Journal entry is shown below:-

    Bonds payable Dr, $70,000

    Loss on redemption of bonds Dr, $3,832

    ($68,000 - $64,168)

    To Bond discount amortization $5,832

    ($70,000 - $64,168)

    To Cash $68,000

    (Being bonds retirement is recorded)

    So, for recording the early retirement of the bonds we debited the bonds payable and loss on redemption of bonds and credited the bond discount amortization and cash.
