    F Corp.'s gain or loss in 2018 on this early extinguishment of debt was $16,000

    Explanation:

    According to the given data we can note that the Bond premium at issue is $80,000

    Hence, Amortization of premium through July 1, 2016 = $80,000/20 = $4,000 per period$

    So, 4,000 x 11 periods = $44,000

    There is an Unamortized premium July 1, 2018 $36,000 and Face value of $2,000,000

    The Book value July 1, 2018 = $2,036,000

    Therefore, the Call (redemption) price = $2,000,000 x 1.01 = $2,020,000

    Therefore, gain or loss in 2018 = The Book value July 1, 2018 - Call (redemption) price

    Gain on extinguishment=$2,036,000 - $2,020,000 = $16,000
