Current Attempt in Progress

On June $30,2017,$ Novak Corp. issued $10\%$ bonds with a face value of $$860,000$ due in $20$ years. They were issued at $97$ and were

callable at $103$ at any date after June $30,2025.$ Because of lower interest rates and a significant change in the company's credit rating,

it was decided to call the entire issuance on June $30,2026,$ after interest has been paid and to issue new bonds. New $10\%$ bonds with a

face value of $$1,040,000$ were sold at $103$; they mature in $20$ years. Novak Corp. uses straight$-$line amortization. Interest payment

dates are December $31$ and June $30.$

$($a$)$ Prepare journal entries to record the retirement of the old issuance and the sale of the new issuance on June $30,2026.$

$($b$)$ Prepare the entry required on December $31,2026,$ to record the payment of the first $6$ months' interest and the

amortization of premium on the bonds.
