Answer #1

Solution:

Option (a) is Correct i.e., gain on bond Redemption of $46,520

Reason:

Calculation of Gain or Loss on Redemption of Bonds

Gain or Loss on Redemption = Carrying Value of Bonds - Amount paid to retire the Bonds

Gain or Loss on Redemption = $345,000 - ($287,000 * 104%)

Gain or Loss on Redemption = $345,000 - $298,480

Gain on Redemption             = $46,520

Since, the balance between the two is positive so there is a Gain on Redemption of Bonds
