Answer:

Credit cash:

= Face amount of bonds × 1.02

= $90 million × 1.02

= $91,800,000

Note:

When bonds are quoted, they are stated n terms of a percentage of the face amount. A $1,000 bond with a call price of 101 will sell for $1,010. $1,000*1.01 = $1,010

So, the credit cash should be $91,800,000

Discount = $3 million

So,

The loss on early extinguishment:

= Cash + Discount - Bonds Payable

= $91,800,000  + $3,000,000 - $90,000,000

= $4,800,000

Therefore, the journal entry is as follows:

Bonds Payable A/c                           Dr. $90 million

Loss on Early Extinguishment A/c   Dr. $4.8 million

To Cash                                                                     $91.8 million

To Discount                                                               $3 million
