Answer:

Explanation:

The journal entry is shown below:

Bonds Payable A/c Dr. $1,500,000

Loss on Redemption of Bond A/c Dr. $25,100

             To Discount on Bonds Payable A/c $70,100

            To Cash A/c $1,455,000

(Being the redemption of the bond is recorded)

The loss on redemption of bond would be

= $1,455,000  + $70,100  - $1,500,000

= $25,100
