Answer #1

Ans.

Fair value of bonds on 1st jan,2015= carrying amount + interest payable

= $ 1,380,000 + $ 37,000

= $ 1,417,000

Sale price of bond on 1st Jan, 2015 = $ 1,530,000

gain on extinguishment of bond = $ 1,530,000 - $  1,417,000

= $ 113,000

Option b is correct ( $ 113,000 ).

Note: Rentro will not report loss on extinguishment of bond, as there is gain on sale of bond. So, " what will Rentro report as a loss on extinguishment " line in question is incorrect. As Rentro is earning gain.
