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, Novak called $630,000 face amount of the bonds and redeemed them. Ignoring income taxes, compute the amount of loss, if any, to be recognized by Novak as a result of retiring the $630,000 of bonds in 2017. Prepare the journal entry to record the redemption.
