    Journal Entry for Redemption
    Good afternoon all,
    Question:
    if a corporation retired $130,000 face value, 12% bonds on June 30,2005, at 102. The carrying value of the bonds at redemption date was $107,500. The bonds pay semiannual interest, and interest payment due on June 30,2005, has been made and recorded.

    could you tell me if the following Journal Entry are correct or not.
