Explanation:

The amount of cash paid to bondholders by calling the bonds is the 102% of the face value of $90.3 million i.e $90.3*102%=$92,106,000

The proceeds would debited to cash while the face value of the bond of $90.3 million would be debited to bonds payable account.

In addition the remaining discount of $3.3 million would credited to discounts on bonds payable account.

The loss or gain on the bond call can then be determined as appropriate.
