On March 31, 2014, Bundy Corporation retired $10,000,000 of bonds, which have an unamortized premium of $500,000, by paying bondholders $9,850,000. How much was the gain or loss on the retirement of the bonds? A. $150,000 loss.
B. $150,000 gain.
C. $650,000 gain.
D. $350,000 loss.

C. $650,000 gain.

Explanation:

Calculation to determine How much was the gain or loss on the retirement of the bonds

Using this formula

Gain or loss on retirement of bonds=Book value of bonds-Amount paid

Let plug in the formula

Gain or loss on retirement of bonds= ($10,000,000 + $500,000)-$9,850,000

Gain or loss on retirement of bonds=$10,500,000-$9,850,000

Gain or loss on retirement of bonds=$650,000 gain

Therefore the gain or loss on the retirement of the bonds will be $650,000 gain

start by isolating the variable on one side by adding 43w^2 to both sides.   the equation will read:

25w^2+5=0

*subtract 5 from both sides*

25w^2=-5

*divide both sides by 25*

w^2=-1/5

*take the square root of both sides*

w=√(-1/5)

the square root of -1 is i.   the square root of 5 remains √5

the answer is i/√5.

hope this
