On January 2, 2015, Concord Corporation issued $1,300,000 of 10% bonds at 98 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, Concord called $780,000 face amount of the bonds and redeemed them. Ignoring income taxes, compute the amount of loss, if any, to be recognized by Concord as a result of retiring the $780,000 of bonds in 2020. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 38,548.)
Loss on redemption : _________ ( $enter a dollar amount of loss on redemption rounded to 0 decimal places )
Prepare the journal entry to record the redemption. (Round answers to 0 decimal places, e.g. 38,548. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the account titles and enter 0 for the amounts. Credit account titles are automatically indented when amount is entered. Do not indent manually.)
