Explanation:

Calculation to determine the amount of loss should Marigold recognize on the redemption of these bonds

Bonds edemption=[($6,920,000*1.01)-$6,920,000]+[(100%-91%*$6,920,000)-((100%-91%*$6,920,000)/15 years*12)]

Bonds redemption=[($6,989,200-$6,920,000]+[(9%*$6,920,000)-((9%*$6,920,000)/15 years*12)]

Bonds redemption=$69,200+[($622,800-($622,800/15 years*12)]

Bonds redemption=$69,200+[($622,800-$498,240)]

Bonds redemption=$69,200+$124,560

Bonds redemption=$193,760

Therefore the amount of loss should Marigold recognize on the redemption of these bonds is $193,760
