Answer:
The answer is b. $8,505 loss.
Explanation:
We have the Gain/(Loss) on bond redemption is calculated as:
Gain/(Loss) on redemption = Carrying value - Redemption value = ( Bond Payable Balance + Bond Premium) - ( Bond Payable balance * Redemption price) = ( 945,000 + 10,395) - (945,000 * 102%) = (8,505) which means the Redemption is recorded with a $8,505 loss
Or, the detailed journal entry for the redemption will be:
Dr Bond Payable 945,000
Dr Premium on Bonds 10,395
Dr Loss on redemption 8,505
Cr Cash 963,900
So, b is the right choice.
