Loss on bond payable: $25,000

$\begin{array}{c}\text{±·±ð³Ù â¶Ä‰I²Ô³¦´Ç³¾±ð= I²Ô³¦´Ç³¾±ð â¶Ä‰b±ð´Ú´Ç°ù±ð â¶Ä‰g²¹¾±²Ô â¶Ä‰o°ù â¶Ä‰l´Ç²õ²õ±ð²õ G²¹¾±²Ô â¶Ä‰o²Ô â¶Ä‰d±ð²ú³Ù â¶Ä‰s±ð³¦³Ü°ù¾±³Ù¾±±ð²õ+ G²¹¾±²Ô â¶Ä‰o²Ô â¶Ä‰C³ó±ð²Ô â¶Ä‰s±ð³¦³Ü°ù¾±³Ù¾±±ð²õ - l´Ç²õ²õ â¶Ä‰o²Ô â¶Ä‰b´Ç²Ô»å â¶Ä‰p²¹²â²¹²ú±ô±ð}\\ =\$100,000+\text{ }\$1,000+\$110,000−\$25,000\\ =\text{ }\$186,000\end{array}$
