Jason Day Company had bonds outstanding with a maturity value of $300,000. On April 30, 2017, when these bonds had an unamortized discount of $10,000, they were called in at 104. To pay for these bonds, Day had issued other bonds a month earlier bearing a lower interest rate. The newly issued bonds had a life of 10 years. The new bonds were issued at 103 (face value $300,000). Instructions

Explanation:

The computation of the gain (loss) on the refunding arrangement is shown below:

Amount paid on redemption($300,000*104%)   ($312,000)

carrying value of the bond                                   $290,000

loss on redemption                                                ($22,000)
