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
