Explanation:

A)

call value

face value: 294,000

call at 104:  294,000 x 104/100 = 305.760‬

carrying value:

bonds payable      294,000

discount on bonds   (9,000)

carrying value       285,000

the loss on redemption will be the difference for call value and carrying value:

305,760 - 285,000 = 20,760‬

B)

the new bods will have a face value of 294,000 and were issued at 102

294,000 x 102/100 = 299.880‬

the diffrence will be a premium for 5,880
