Answer:
The correct answer is "43,000".
Explanation:
The given values are:
Carrying amount,
= $4060000
Face value,
= $3900000
Now,
For June 30, 2021, the Interest expense will be:
= [tex]4060000\times 10 \ percent\times \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]203,000[/tex]
For June 30, 2021, the cash interest will be:
= [tex]3900000\times 8 \ percent\times \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
= [tex]156,000[/tex]
Now,
On June 30, 2021, the premium's amortization will be:
= Interest expense - Cash interest
= [tex]203,000-156,000[/tex]
= [tex]47,000[/tex]
On retirement, the cash paid will be:
= [tex]3900000\times 104 \ percent[/tex]
= [tex]4,056,000[/tex]
On June 30, 2021, the less carrying amount will be:
= Carrying amount - amortization
= [tex]4060000-47000[/tex]
= [tex]4,013,000[/tex]
Then,
The loss on retirement as well as ignoring taxes will be:
= Cash paid - less carrying amount
= [tex]4,056,000-4,013,000[/tex]
= [tex]43,000[/tex]
