Ans. Let's say the par value of the bonds is $100.
Now we need to calculate the number of bonds issued/sold.
Number of bonds issued (sold) = Total bonds at par value / Par value of the bonds
$1,010,000 / $100
10,100   bonds
Carrying value of bonds =   Issue price - Discount on bonds payable
$1,010,000 - $12,120
$997,880
Redemption value of bonds =   Number of bonds issued * Redemption price
10,100 * $98
$989,800
Gain on redemption =    Carrying value of bonds - Redemption value of bonds
$997,880 - $989,800
$8,080
Carrying value > Redemption value = Gain on redemption
Carrying value < Redemption value = Loss on redemption
