    this is what I have so far

    face value = 150,000

    Carrying value = 137,700
    Market price paid to retire bons = 153,000
    Loss on retirement of bonds = 15,300

    Im just not sure how to write it as a journal entry

    The value of the bonds will be contained in liabilities and the loss much be carried to the P&L as an extraordinary item
    the elements here are an exising liability, the bank account and a loss
