16. Bonds Payable has a balance of $852,000 and Premium on Bonds Payable has a balance of $9,372. If the issuing corporation redeems the bonds at 103, what is the amount of gain or loss on redemption?
b. $ 16,188 loss
cash for bond redemption = 852,000 x 1.03 = $877,560
carrying value of bonds = 852,000 + 9,372 = $861,372
Gain or Loss = 877,560 - 861,372
Loss = 16,188
When bonds are redeemed; if the carrying value is more than the cash redemption, there is a gain. If the carrying value is less, there is a loss.
Here carrying value is less than the cash redemption, so it is loss on redemption.
Thank you.
