1. answer is option B  $19,300 loss

Issue price of bond

PV of interest payments (500000*8%/2*7.72173) = 154435

PVAF ( 5%, 10 period) = 7.72173

PV of principal (500000*0.61391) = 306955

PVF ( 5%, 10 period) = 0.61391

Total present value = 154435+306955 = 461390

Carrying value = 490701

Redemption value = 500000*1.02 = 510000

Loss = redemption value – carrying value = 510000-490701 = 19299 = $19300 loss (rounded by $1)   

2. Answer is option A If the redemption price is greater than the carrying value of the bond, we have a loss. (as payment will be more than the book value or carrying value of bond)
