Determine Proper Amounts in Account Balances) Presented below are two independent situations.

(a) George Gershwin Co. sold \(2,000,000 of 10%, 10-year bonds at 104 on January 1, 2017. The bonds were dated January 1, 2017, and pay interest on July 1 and January 1. If Gershwin uses the straight-line method to amortize bond premium or discount, determine the amount of interest expense to be reported on July 1, 2017, and December 31, 2017.

(b) Ron Kenoly Inc. issued \)600,000 of 9%, 10-year bonds on June 30, 2017, for $562,500. This price provided a yield of 10% on the bonds. Interest is payable semiannually on December 31 and June 30. If Kenoly uses the effective interest method, determine the amount of interest expense to record if financial statements are issued on October 31, 2017.

On January 2, 2012, Banno Corporation issued \(1,500,000 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 101 (i.e., at 101% of face amount), and on January 2, 2017, Banno called \)900,000 face amount of the bonds and redeemed them.

Ignoring income taxes, compute the amount of loss, if any, to be recognized by Banno as a result of retiring the $900,000 of bonds in 2017 and prepare the journal entry to record the redemption.
