Explanation:

given data

Bonds Payable = $5990000

Discount on Bonds Payable = 850000

Interest Payable = 155000

bonds retired = 102

to find out

loss on redemption

solution

we get here loss on redemption that is express as

loss on redemption = amount paid in excess par value + discount bond payable ... 1

here amount paid in excess par value will be

amount paid in excess par value = Bonds Payable (1.02 - 1)

amount paid in excess par value = $5990000 * (1.02 - 1)

amount paid in excess par value = 119800

so from equation 1

loss on redemption = $119800 + 850000

loss on redemption = $969800

so correct option is $969800
