Explanation:

Calculation to determine what The loss on retirement, ignoring taxes, is

First step is to calculate the CV of bonds

CV of bonds=$4,136,341 – [($4,000,000 × .06) – ($4,136,341 × .05)]

CV of bonds=$4,136,341 –($240,000-$206,817)

CV of bonds=$4,136,341 – $33,183

CV of bonds=$4,103,158

Now let calculate the Loss on retirement

Loss on retirement=($4,000,000 × 1.04) –$4,103,158

Loss on retirement =$4,160,000-$4,103,158
