    Dr Loss on early extinguishment $11,000

    Cr Discount on bonds $21,000 (7/10 x $30,000)

    Cr Cash $790,000

    Supporting calculations:

    Face value of the bond 800,000

    Less: issue price of the bond 770,000

    Discount on bonds payable 30,000 (800,000-770,000)

    Amortization of discount on bonds payable per year under straight line method (30,000/10) 3,000

    Unamortized discount for the remaingg 7 years is 21,000 (7*3,000)

    *Loss on early extinguishment calculation:

    Face value of the bond 800,000

    Less: Unamortized discount for the remaingg 7 years 21,000

    Carrying value of the bonds (800,000-21,000) 779,000

    Retirement price of the bonds 790,000

    Loss on early extinguishment - 11,000
