The answer is b. $8,505 loss.

Explanation:

We have the Gain / (Loss) on bond redemption is calculated as:

Gain / (Loss) on redemption = Carrying value - Redemption value = (Bond Payable Balance + Bond Premium) - (Bond Payable balance * Redemption price) = (945,000 + 10,395) - (945,000 * 102%) = (8,505) which means the Redemption is recorded with a $8,505 loss

Or, the detailed journal entry for the redemption will be:

Dr Bond Payable 945,000

Dr Premium on Bonds 10,395

Dr Loss on redemption 8,505

Cr Cash 963,900

So, b is the right choice.
