    gain on the bond extinguishment 58,000

    Explanation:

    Carrying value of the bonds at redemption:

    face value + unamortized premium on bonds

    1,000,000 + 78,000 = 1,078,000

    are retired at 102%

    1,000,000 x 102% = 1,020,000

    Gain on the bond extinguishment

    carrying value - retired:

    1,078,000 - 1,020,000 = 58,000

    the journal entry will be:

    bonds payable 1,000,000

    premium on bond 78,000

    cash 1,020,000

    gain on bond redemption 58,000
