Answer:
the gain on retirement bond is $100,000
Explanation:
The computation of the gain or loss recognized on the bond retirement is shown below;
= Book value - paid at redemption
= ($1,500,000 + $157,500) - ($1,500,000 × 105%)
= ($1,657,500) - ($1,575,000)
= $100,000
hence, the gain on retirement bond is $100,000
