Explanation:

Redemption of Bonds Payable

The maturity value for bonds payable is equal to the face value of these bonds. This means that the face value of old bonds was $311000.

The bonds were carrying a discount. Thus, the carrying value of bonds was

Carrying value = Face value - Discount

Carrying value = 311000 - 11000    =  $300000

Bonds with a carrying value of $300000 were redeemed at 105% of the face value. The cash paid for redemption is,

Cash paid = 311000 * 105%  =  326550

Thus, there was a loss on redemption of = 326550  -  300000  = $26550

Issuance of Bonds Payable

The bonds were issued at 101% of the face value which means they were issued at a premium.

The amount of premium on these bonds is,

Premium = Carrying value - Face value

Premium = 311000 * 101%  - 311000  

Premium = $3110
