Accounting

On June 30,2016, Whispering Winds Limited issued 11.75% bonds with a par value of $811,000 due in 20 years. They were issued at 98 and were callable at 105 at any date after June 30,2023. Because of lower interest rates and a significant change in the companys credit rating, it was decided to call the entire issue on June 30,2023, and to issue new bonds. New 10% bonds were sold in the amount of $1 million at 104; they mature in 20 years. The company follows ASPE and uses straight-line amortization. The interest payment dates are December 31 and June 30 of each year.
Please show the calculation used to achieve the journal entries to record the redemption of the bonds payable. I would like to know how the amount of 800457 for Bonds Payable and 51093 for Loss on Redemption of bonds was found. If using excel, please show the formulas.
