b.gain on bond redemption of $63,680.
c.loss on bond redemption of $63,680.
d.gain on bond redemption of $75,000.
Carrying value of bonds = $358,000
Par value of bonds = $283,000
Redemption price = 104
Cash paid to redeem bonds = Par value of bonds x Redemption price
= 283,000 x 104%
= $294,320
Gain on bond redemption = Carrying value of bonds- Cash paid to redeem bonds
= 358,000-294,320
= $63,680
Correct option is b.
gain on bond redemption of $63,680.
