Answer:
$24,000 Gain
Explanation:
Given that,
Bonds issued = 3,000
Par value = $1,000
Value of issued bonds = $3,120,000
Goll's gain in 2018 on this early extinguishment of debt:
= Issue price of bonds - Premium amortized - Callable value
= $3,120,000 - [($3,120,000 - $3,000,000) × 11/20] - (3,000 × $1,000 × 1.01)
= $3,120,000 - $66,000 - $3,030,000
= $24,000 Gain
