Solutions

Expert Solution

Solution:

First of all we need discount on issuance of bond = $1,000,000 - ($961,500 - $1,000,000*8%*3/12)

= $58,500

Above amount of discount is to be amortized on SLM basis within 10yrs.

a. Computation of gain or loss on retirement:

Loss on retirement = Amount paid - Carrying of bonds on retirement

   = ($1,000,000×1/2)×0.99 - (Par value of retired bonds - Unamortized discount )

   = $495,000 - ($1,000,000×1/2 - $58,500×6/10×1/2)

   = $495,000 - $482,450

   = $12,550
