Answer:

the gain would be reported i.e. $10,778

Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

The Value of 100000 bonds is

= $530,000 ÷ $500,000 × 100,000

= $106,000

Now

Premium amortization in 4 month is

= $7,000 ÷ 36 months × 4 months

= $778

Now

Carrying value on may 1, 2018 is

= $106,000 - $778

= $105,222

Now

Retirement value is

= 100,000 × 1.16

= 116,000

So,

Gain on retirement is

= 116,000 - 105,222

= $10,778

Hence, the gain would be reported i.e. $10,778
