    Dr Bonds payable $50,700

    Dr premium on bonds payable $4,265

    Cr Cash $53,000

    Cr gain on bonds retirement ($50,700+$4,265-$53000) $1,965

    Explanation:

    The premium yet to be amortized on the bond at retirement is the carrying value minus face value i. e $54,965-$50,700=$4265

    The premium on bonds payable would now be debited with $4265

    The cash paid on retirement would be credited to cash account

    The face value of the bonds payable of $50,700 would be debited to bonds payable in order to show that the obligation has been discharged.
