A corporation called an outstanding bond obligation four years before maturity. At that time there was an unamortized discount of $300,000. To extinguish this debt, the company had to pay a call premium of $100,000. Ignoring income tax considerations, how should these amounts be treated for accounting purposes? A) Amortize $400,000 over four years B) Charge $400,000 to a loss in the year of extinguishment C) Charge $100,000 to a loss in the year of extinguishment and amortize $300,000 over four years D) Either amortize $400,000 over four years or charge $400,000 to a loss immediately, whichever management selects

B) Charge $400,000 to a loss in the year of extinguishment.

Explanation:

The $300,000 of amortized discount means that the corporation issued the bonds at a discount and was amortizing the discount over the bond's lifespan.  A discount is already a loss, and we must add the $100,000 that the corporation had to pay in excess (premium) to repurchase the bonds. So the total loss resulting from this bond issuance and repurchase was $300,000 + $100,000 = $400,000. Accrual accounting recognizes losses as soon as they happen, so this loss must be recognized as soon as the bonds are repurchased.

the correct answer is "nuclear power plants do not pollute the air". unlike fossil fuel-fired power plants, nuclear power plants do not produce chemicals or other components that could pollute the air. nuclear reactors work with uranium, creating energy by splitting the atoms in a fission chain reaction, which not results in the formation of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases.
