b. $13,110 loss

Assuming the price of a bond is $100

Number of bonds available for redemption is

= 874000/100 = 8740 bonds

Given bond redemption value = $97.5

Loss per bond is 100 - 97.5 = $2.5

Total loss on redemption of bonds = 8740 * 2.5 = $21,850

Balance available in discount on bonds payable = $8740

So the net loss = 21850 - 8740 = $13,110
