Bonds Payable (6%) |
$600,000 |
Premium on Bonds Payable |
50,000 |
The bonds mature on 12/31/28. Straight-line amortization is used.
If 60% of the bonds are retired at 104 on January 1, 2025, what is the gain or loss on early extinguishment?
(Please show computations and explanation)
Straight Line Amortization per year = Premium on Bonds Payable / No of years
= $50,000 / 8
= $6250 per year
Premium Amortized Until 31/12/2024
= 6250 * 4 = $25000
Unamortized premium balance = 50000 - 25000
=$25000
Unamortized premium balance on 60% of Bonds = 25000 * 60%
=$15000
Fair Value of 60% of Bonds = 600000 * 60%
=$360000
Cash paid to 60% of Bonds holders = (360000 / 100) *104
=$374400
Gain on Redemption of Bonds = Faior Value of Bonds redeemed + Unamortized premium - Cash paid
= $360000 + $15000 - $374400
= $600
