Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Since the bonds are sold at a price lower than the face value, there will be a loss reported on the income statement. The loss can be calculated as (Face value of the bond) - (Sale price of the bond). In this case, the face value is $100,000 and the sale price is $99,000, resulting in a loss of $1,000.
