    Brooks uses the straight-line method of amortization. Brooks Company redeemed the bonds on January 1, 2018

    The amount of gain reported by Brooks its 2018 income statement relative to this transaction is $190,800

    Explanation:

    We know that the formula for carrying value is

    Carrying value = Face value - Unamortized discount

    Bonds have a face value of $200,000

    Brooks Company received proceeds of $188,500

    200,000 - 188,500 = 11,500 (unamortized discount)

    11,500 / 20 = 575 semiannual discount amortization

    575 x 4 = 2,300 discount amortized after 4 interest payment periods.

    11,500 - 2,300 = 9,200 unamortized discount

    200,000 - 9,200 = $190,800 (Carrying Value)

    The amount of gain reported by Brooks its 2018 income statement relative to this transaction is $190,800
