Answer:

January 1, 2021

Bonds Payable                                           $91.5 million Dr

Loss on Redemption-Bonds Payable      $6.33 million Dr

         Discount on Bonds Payable                    $4.5 million Cr

         Cash                                                            $93.33 million Cr

Explanation:

To calculate the loss on redemption of the bonds, we first need to calculate the value at which bonds have been redeemed. The bonds are redeemed at 102 which means they are redeemed at 102% of the face value.

Redemption amount = 91.5 million * 102% = 93.33 million

The bonds have a carrying value on redemption date of,

Carrying value = Face Value - Discount

Carrying value = 91.5 - 4.5 = $87 million

The loss on redemption of bonds is = 93.33 - 87 = $6.33 million
