Answer:
$72,800
Explanation:
Book value:
= Value of bonds + Unamortized bond premium
= $1,000,000 + $92,800
= $1,092,800
Paid at redemption:
= 102% of value of bonds
= 102% × $1,000,000
= $1,020,000
Gain on bond retirement:
= Book value - Paid at redemption
= $1,092,800 - $1,020,000
= $72,800
Therefore, gain should be recognized on this bond retirement will be $72,800.
