    Gain = $407,000

    Explanation:

    Carrying value of bonds at June 30, 2021 $17,557,000

    ($17,500,000 + $57,000)

    Less repurchase price: 98% x $17,500,000 = $17,150,000

    Gain = $407,000

    Therefore at June 30, 2021, the amount that K Co should recognize as gain on redemption of bonds before income taxes is $407,000
