On January 2, 2015, Flint Corporation issued $2,050,000 of 10%
bonds at 96 due December 31, 2024. Interest on the bonds is payable
annually each December 31. The discount on the bonds is also being
amortized on a straight-line basis over the 10 years.
(Straight-line is not materially different in effect from the
preferable “interest method.”)
The bonds are callable at 101 (i.e., at 101% of face amount), and
on January 2, 2020, Flint called $1,230,000 face amount of the
bonds and redeemed them.
Ignoring income taxes, compute the amount of loss, if any, to be
recognized by Flint as a result of retiring the $1,230,000 of bonds
in 2020. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g.
38,548.)
