Question 5 of 9
< >
2/8 :
On January 2, 2018, Wildhorse Corporation, a small company that follows ASPE, issued $2.1 million of 8% bonds at 97 due on
December 31, 2027. Legal and other costs of $210,000 were incurred in connection with the issue. Wildhorse has a policy of
capitalizing and amortizing the legal and other costs incurred by including them with the bond recorded at the date of issuance.
Interest on the bonds is payable each December 31. The $210,000 of issuance costs are being deferred and amortized on a straight-
line basis over the 10-year term of the bonds. The discount on the bonds is also being amortized on a straight-line basis over the 10
years. (The straight-line method is not materially different in its effect compared with the effective interest method.)
The bonds are callable at 102 (that is, at 102% of their face amount), and on January 2, 2023, the company called a face amount of
$1,150,000 of the bonds and retired them.
(a)
Your answer is partially correct.
Ignoring income taxes, calculate the amount of loss, if any, that the company needs to recognize as a result of retiring $1,150,000
of bonds in 2023. Prepare the journal entry to record the retirement. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 5,275. Credit account
titles are automatically indented when the amount is entered. Do not indent manually. If no entry is required, select "No Entry" for the
account titles and enter 0 for the amounts. List all debit entries before credit entries.)
