A gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt
Book value of debt - Reacquisition price *debt retired > book value, debtor records a gain *debt retired < book value, debtor records a loss
Required Information #6
Companies are not required to, but have the option to, value some or all of their liabilities at fair value. If the option is elected, an increase (or decrease) in fair value from one balance sheet to the next is reported as a loss (or gain) as other comprehensive income to the extent it's related to credit risk. Otherwise, it's reported in net income. It's a one-time election for each liability when the liability is created.

Outstanding Balance x Effective
Effective Interest
Required Information #2
Forces of supply and demand cause a bond to be priced to yield the market rate, calculated as the present value of all the cash flows required, where the discount rate is the market rate. Interest expense is calculated as the effective market rate of interest multiplied by the outstanding balance (during the interest period). A company is permitted to allocate a discount or a premium equally to each period over the term to maturity if doing so produces results that are not materially different from the interest method.
Touché, Inc. issued 9%, $1,300,000 bonds for $1,600,000. Touché reacquired these bonds for $1,365,000 when their book value was $1,436,500. What was the gain or loss on the early extinguishment of this debt?
Gain of $71,500 ($1,365,000 - 1,436,500)
When a bond issue sells for less than its face value, the market rate of interest is:
Higher than the stated rate of interest. (Higher than the stated rate of interest. The discount created will be amortized to generate additional interest expense (recognized over the life of the bond). This is added to the interest expense created by the periodic interest payments (computed at the stated rate of interest) to increase the total interest expense to that of the market rate of interest.)
Required Information #3
In concept, notes are accounted for in precisely the same way as bonds. When a note is issued with an unrealistic interest rate, the effective market rate is used both to determine the amount recorded in the transaction and to record periodic interest thereafter.
Required Information #4

Supplemental disclosures are needed for (a) off-balance-sheet credit or market risk, (b) concentrations of credit risk, and (c) the fair value of financial instruments.
