Answer:

1 JAN 2021    Bonds Payable    $91 m  Dr

                       Loss on redemption    5.82 m  Dr

                             Discount on Bonds Payable    $4 m  Cr

                             Cash                                            $92.82  Cr

                           

Explanation:

The bonds are redeemed before the maturity and we have to pay investors in excess of the face value to redeem the bonds. The face value is $91 m which is equal to a denomination of 100. Redeeming a bond at 102 means we are actually paying 102% of face value that is ( 91*102)/100 = 92.82

We calculate the loss on redemption by deducting the carrying value of the bond ( 91 - 4 = 87) from the cash we paid for the bond redemption (92.82).
