    B ? by any chance…

    Cumulative PS Dividend (600,000*4% = 24,000)

    Net Income 236,000

    C/S 50,000 add 6,000 (8,000*9/12)

    Please don't laugh too much at me. I think I am loosing it but what does this mean. Bonds are called by a 101 at any time ?

    Like I understand the concept of what needs to be done – i just am confused how to use 101 to determine how much i need to pay them for the retirement of the bonds.

    On July 1, year 1, Belmont Corporation issued for $960,000, 1,000 of its 9%, $1,000 callable bonds. The bonds are dated July 1, year 1, and mature on July 1, year 11. Interest is payable semiannually on January 1 and July 1. Belmont uses the straight-line method of amortizing bond discount. The bonds can be called by the issuer at 101 at any time after June 30, year 6. On July 1, year 7, Belmont called in all of the bonds and retired them. How much loss should Belmont report on this early extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, year 7?

    I think it will be much easier if you think like this

    50,000 – it was there all 12 months

    8,000 show up in April.. therefore they only are there for 9 months so that is you proportionate out to get 6,000 (8,000 * 9/12)

    Then you using this formula

    NI – PS dividends for Current year ONLY / Common Stock

    236,000 – 24,000 / 56,000 = 3.79

    brainfarts, “call at 101” means the issuer can choose to buy back the bonds at 101% of their face value.
