Answer 1

Account title	Debit	credit
Bond Payable	546000
Contributed Surplus-Conversion Rights	33000
Loss of Redemption of Bond	2390
Retained Earning (Balancing figure)	8610
Cash		590000

Working:

i)contributed surplus:

Total proceeds at time of issuance [550*1000*105/100]	577500
less:Market price of bonds immediately after issuance [550*1000*99/100]	(544500)
Contributed surplus	33000

ii)

Loss on redemption of bonds = Fair value at retirement -carrying value

                      = 548390-546000

                      = 2390
