    d. $15,000 gain

    Explanation:

    For computing, the loss or gain on redemption, first we have to compute the redeemable value of the bond which is shown below:

    = Bond payable balance * rate of bond

    = $1,0000,000 * 0.975

    = $975,000

    And, after the discount, the balance of bond payable would be

    = $1,000,000 - $10,000

    = $990,000

    SO, the difference would be

    = $990,000 - $975,000

    = $15,000 gain
