    The Long-Term Debt section of Rodman Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2012,
    Prepare the July 1, 2013 journal entries on the books of Rodman Company to record: (a) payment of interest, (b) the amortization of the discount since December 31, 2012, and (3) the early retirement. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.

    I have done the journal entry but cannot figure out how to calculate them...

    Retirement of Debt before Maturity
    Retirement of Debt before Maturity

    The Long-Term Debt section of Rodman Company’s balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, included 8% bonds payable of $600,000 less unamortized discount of $44,000. Further examination revealed that these bonds were issued to yield 11%. The amortization of the bond discount was recorded using the effective-interest method. Interest was paid on January 1 and July 1 of each year. On July 1, 2013, Rodman retired the bonds at 104 before maturity.

    Prepare the July 1, 2013 journal entries on the books of Rodman Company to record: (a) payment of interest, (b) the amortization of the discount since December 31, 2012, and (3) the early retirement. If an amount box does not require an entry, leave it blank.
