    The answer is a. gain on bond redemption of $10,000.

    Explanation:

    As the carrying value of the bond is up to $622,000, while the redemption only takes the company 600,000 x 102% = $612,000 (that is, it takes $612,000 cash to clear $622,000 liabilities); the entry will include a gain on bond redemption of $10,000 which is calculated as $622,000 - $612,000 = $10,000.

    Details entry should be:

    Dr Bond payable 600,000

    Dr Premium on bond 22,000

    Cr Cash 612,000

    Cr Gain on bond redemption 10,000
