Bond reacquisition - Gain/Loss
Not what you're looking for?
On January 1, 2001, Gonzalez Corporation issued $4,500,000 of 10% ten-year bonds at 103. The bonds are callable at the option of Gonzalez at 105. Gonzalez has recorded amortization of the bond premium on the straight-line method (which was not materially different from the effective-interest method).
On December 31, 2007, when the fair market value of the bonds was 96, Gonzalez repurchased $1,000,000 of the bonds in the open market at 96. Gonzalez has recorded interest and amortization for 2007. Ignoring income taxes and assuming that the gain is material, Gonzalez should report this reacquisition as either:

2. gain of 61,000
3. gain of 49,000
4. loss of 61,000
