    The loss is $3,680

    Explanation:

    In this question, we are asked to calculate if the gain or loss on the retirements of bonds.

    We start by subtracting the sales value of bond and unamortised discount from face value of bonds

    we are given the unamortised discount in the question but we do not know sales value of bonds.

    We calculate that as follows;

    we assume that the face value of bond is $100 per bond

    The number of share issue = 48,000/100 = 480 bonds

    The sales value of bond = number of shares sold * sales value per bond. = 480 * 101 = $48,480

    Thus, the loss on sales of bond = 48,000-48,480 - 3,200 = - $3,680
