On january 2 2012 concord corporation issued 1700000 of 10


On January 2, 2012, Concord Corporation issued $1,700,000 of 10% bonds at 97 due December 31, 2021. Interest on the bonds is payable annually each December 31. The discount on the bonds is also being amortized on a straight-line basis over the 10 years. (Straight-line is not materially different in effect from the preferable “interest method”.) The bonds are callable at 102 (i.e., at 102% of face amount), and on January 2, 2017, Concord called $1,020,000 face amount of the bonds and redeemed them. Ignoring income taxes, compute the amount of loss, if any, to be recognized by Concord as a result of retiring the $1,020,000 of bonds in 2017. (Round answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 38,548.)
